We where following a vintage two wheel something as we a approached a set of traffic lights on reds. The motorcycle slowed, stopped and fell side ways trapping the rider. Handbrake set and dad and I jumped out to help to find a stream of interesting language emanating from the helmet. One we had rescued the rider of a certain vintage he thanked us and he confessed that this was the second occurrence this week, he had taken the side car off the week before. Old habits!

Cheers all,
Greg

A friend pulled up outside the local chippy,  went to put his right foot down and the kickstart of his Suzuki AP50 went straight up the leg of his " baggy patch pocket three button northern soul style" trousers,  keeled over with a crash in front of whole line of girls.   :(

Driving (adjective) is defined as the control and operation of a motor vehicle. A motorcycle is a motor vehicle.
Ride noun) is defined as to sit on and control the movement of many things including motorcycles and pedal cycles.
