Anyone BOTAFOT yesterday

Despite the km clocks? YTC.

 

I didn't read that bit, so technically YOC.

 

Could that be down to the aforementioned presssure for training to reduce
risk?

 

no, I definitely didn't see that bit.

 

I have just seen into your soul.

 

have you? I didn't feel anything.

 

Don't be daft man. It's obviously down to the gatsos slowing everybody
down!

 

I wasn't in there very long. "Straight in, straight out, no-one gets
hurt", as a bank robber might say.

 

I don't remember but it's unlikely you were telling me anything I didn't
know because the absence of the back-protecting foam insert which I favour
was accidental rather than intentional.

 

Well tbh I am fucking cool anyway but aside from that I had resigned myself
to a complete lack of control as early as the point at which they strapped
me to the stretcher. It's easy to relax when there's nothing you can do.

That was back when everything was better, right?

 

Before Usenet, yes.

 

Yellow and black, they were. IR being on the receiving end of a
finger-wagging for mild speeding on the sea-front.

The woman who owns/owned it also has another pub called the Englands
Rose somewhere else. She told me ages ago that she was trying to dump
the one at Postcombe.

One of the reasons I got rid of my VFR 800 was a rear wheel slide
at eeek mph. I had only pulled the front brake on...

So I won't be buying any more bikes with linked brakes. If I want the
back brake to come on I'll put it on.
