    Not really. Okay, you're booked for the sidecar, I just need to cast around
    for someone unreliable to do the steering...

    You are entirely too kind.

    Anyone who can fly a sidecar with me as ballast could give Steve Fossett
    a run for his money.

    Shouldn't be difficult: a decent run-up and hard left lock briskly applied.

    Hmm. Better file down the lock-stops...

    You're going to want nice hot 010s[1] on there.

    [1] Or is it Azaros now? I forget.

    Good plan. QD 10" stone-cutting discs. Likes it.

    Should improve acceleration, with some cost to top speed. But hey, who
    can realistically do more that 45MPH on modern roads?

    The beauty of QD: trundle up on road rubber, slap on the silicon carbide,
    and Nigel's your wicked uncle.

    Yeah, but he's got a bearded chum; I haven't and I'll fly you to the moon
    and back.

    Go for it.. so far, it seems to be the BOSM of impractical rides this year.

    I'm feeling more confident now. I had a go on the Brighton Uni flight
    simulator the other day, and only managed to crash a little right at the
    end. :)

    Hmm I'm back in Physio so unlikely to able to ride distance again by
    BOSM. Rather than duck out I'll probably come over in the '86 944.
    Should I fit a towbar and bring a trailer?
