    I saw this yesterday, one of those THINK BIKE!! type things from the
    gov'ment
    I thought it was actually quite a good little film, showing the
    importance of being prepared for what could be around the corner. It's
    a little patronising perhaps ?Kind of made me want to get the bike out
    for a ride anyway, now where is that sun shine ?

    that's completely unbelievable.

    I mean, who would own a Ducati /and/ a Rover?

  6. I *think* the bikes were a Yamaha RD200 twin (could have been an RD125,
    though) and a Suzuki GP125.

    x-posted to ukrmc. Anyone?

    RD200 and a GT185. Both had the huge 'dynastart' engine case on the
    left side of the engine.

  8. So it is. The brake caliper's wrong for a GP125, anyway.

    You forgot the most important clue - the GP125 was a single, not a
    fucking twin, you blind numpty.

  10. I knew that. I just didn't get a good enough look at the engine. Bloody
    hard to see.

    I'm sure he was far too busy taking careful note of the message concerning
    correct riding technique. :)

    It's a pity riding/driving technique 'adverts' aren't shown more commonly
    on the telly to help get the message across. They show drink/driving and
    seatbelt ads, after all. Public service broadcasting and all that.
