In It's not the ones talking on their mobiles that worry me it's the increasing number of twats I see texting while driving! Overtaken quite a few people and noticed they're looking down at their phones and texting. -- Steve Parry 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650 87 Yamaha FS1 Sukida SK90PY 91 Kawasaki AR50 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Texting drivers should be arrested and their car and license confiscated on the spot in my opinion. Either that or charged with something similar to attempted murder in case of an accident, but then it's already too late. First thing that came to mind was execution but I'm being humane today (Sharia anyone?...). Having said that, the last bloody moron I encountered texting-in-motion was a moped rider. No helmet either, but that's still the norm around here. Still, not half as dangerous as a blind 2-tonner. The more I ride the more I convince myself that the second piece of gear a motorcyclist should be carrying (after the helmet) is a crowbar or baseball bat. Geo

I expect it'd be something like: FK OFF CNT -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (Fallen apart) Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Norton 850 Commando Kawasaki GTR1400
Not much of a chance as we're probably several countries away from each other anyway, but if you're texting while you're driving and you're not in the middle of the Australian outback or the Gobi desert, I think that's mighty irresponsible. Particularly since I understand you're implying that it's not unusual for you to do so. Geo
Apparently the wuss slowed down to around 120mph when texting through the clear window of his tank bag on the way to meet us in Limoges a coupla years back. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'. Ace (b.rogers at ifrance.com) \`\ | /`/ DS#8 BOTAFOT#3 SbS#2 UKRMMA#13 DFV#8 SKA#2 IBB#10 `\\ | //' `\|/` `

You'll just end up waving it around all over the shop to get a signal and ploughing into the nearest biker. I don't think you've thought it through.
Pah, rolling fags is kids play, it is sticking the skins together that is where the real skill starts.
