Cold Light of Day

I thought Sweller had one in Brighton too?

 

I don't think your cunning plan of greasing the road outside Cane's will
work, you know.

I've never been to Brighton so I wouldn't know..

Phil.

 

To be honest, I couldn't see any difference between the first two pix,
at first glance. Crash-proof, I call that.

 

A grumpy old one would do, too.

I hope you're feeling better.

After looking at the photos I went to see my optometrist and after all
sorts of tests he said I'd need a new pair of glasses and charged me
£480. I said I'd be cheaper crashing a Guzzi.

 

With some folding rear sets and front axle protectors I'd say the Guzzi
would slide amazingly well. No doubt someone makes head/plug protectors
too.

 

I reckon Sweller's Guzzi slid amazingly well.

As for head protectors, yeah, shitloads. You've probably seen them without
realising what they were for. Look at the little curved metal things bolted
onto the outside edge of the valve covers:

*very* interested - emailed

 

I recommend "Red for Danger" LTC Rolt

 

My father had a copy, but although I've got many of his books, that one's
disappeared.

 

Bookmarked, ta.
He's the waterways bloke, afair.

Just arrived today, "The Hurricane Story", by Paul Gallico.

Wotcha.

Some Guzzis have built in head protection.

<< looks at Nuovo Falcone engine >>

Hmm - it would be a very bizarre accident that caused the cylinder head to
scrape along the floor ;-)

 

Hard landing after a big wheelie?

 

<TIC mode>

but *everyone knows* you can't wheelie or countersteer a shaftie.

<shakes head>

 

Wotcha.

I thought for a minute that said "scrapes head"
