Bulldog Bash - "Motorcyclist shot on M40"

Scary, I'd typed the very same thing before I remembered it's best to
read the whole thread first... It was 6 years ago I think.

God, I think like WUN!

 

Ah, which type tyres then?

 

The ones that come in 100/90-18 and 120/90-18

This is the tread pattern if any eagle eyed types know their Metzelers

I see from that article that he was a Canadian. Wasn't it a Canadian who

The ages don't *quite* tally up but that would assume both these articles
are accurate - a long shot I know (bad choice of words perhaps but you know
what I mean!)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventry_warwickshire/6946346.stm says he
is 35 now.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1490294.stm says the victim in 2001 was a 31
year old. Elsewhere it says the 2001 chap was a Canadian.

It's an interesting coincidence if nothing else.

You do have to allow for windage when shooting, however, over the
distance from one carriageway to another the effect would be
miniscule.

 

I always assumed it was owning a transit van with blacked out windows.

 

Boots wroteHave you read Hunter S Thompson's book on the subject? Rollicking read!

 

No, I was going by the evidence of my own eyes and what passes for
memory these days.

Ah right yes. Yes.

 

That must have been a bunch of wannabees that chased me on the
Pacific Highway one day then, after I'd passed their procession in two fell
swoops (had to pull in at one point for an oncoming car). The Honda
SL350s and a few CB350s chased me, leaving all the WLA Harleys to wallow
along at their own pace.

It seems you are right. Utterly sure I was there was a derivative or
version of the B40 known as the M. Turns out to be unknown; indeed,
non-existent.

Thank-you.
In exchange for a sticker I could divulge the name of this Volvo

its more likely to work if you ask Cane where to send an SAE and send
it to the address he says.

Yeah, I suppose it would really. I suppose I could go on and on
discussing this all night. And tomorrow. And the day after.

But first!
What is the etiquette and convention? Where should it be put, on helmet,
bike, arse, elbow?
Is it allowed on my cage?
Will it enhance my sex life?
Should I consult the FAQ?
