Did u get cought over the limit?

Why Mr Safety Glasses? If I saw a biker wheeling the M5, and they
appeared to be in control, I'd probably be cheering them on.

Fair enough.

Given you'll probably *still* be riding like a **** they could do you
for whatever they observed.

Given the point I've noted above I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't
like the whole ring the police when someone farts mentality although I
do accept it's a personal foible, possibly an antisocial one, a little
irrational and not entirely consistent either.

 

I believe this is a bit of a myth that occasionally rears its ugly head
on the railway from time to time.

Anyway, by that logic if I have 10 pints of Guinness and stop drinking
eight hours before I book on, I'll be alright?

 

Or, say, a heavy drinking session on a Friday night before you have to be
at work at, for example, 5am on the Sunday?

 

If we could have Cab's eight system, that would be great and not a
problem...

 

According to that ATC Speech that was doing the rounds a while back,
the pilots get tanked up in the first class lounge at the start of the
flight, leaving the plane on autopilot, then dose themselves with coffee
when it's time to land.

Though the bloke also suggested that because Concorde flew faster than a
bullet, if they armed it with guns it'd shoot itself down, so several pinches
of salt are required

 

On the subject of people drinking to much, I once met a chap in a pub
who took great delight in telling me about a scientific experiment he
was running, he said <spoken slowly in a Yorkshire accent>
“If I ‘av 8 pints o Guinness an’ go ‘ome, I’m fine” <pause as he inhales
half a pint of Guinness>
“If I ‘av 8 pints o Guinness an’ an ‘iland Park, I wet the bed” <pause
as he inhales the other half, next pint arrives via some telepathic link
between him and the bar keep>
“7 pints an a Parks fine, 9 pints without a parks fine, but if I ‘av 8
pints an a Park, I wet the bed”
I asked him how long this experiment has been going on and he replied
“Oooh about 3 years now” then to the bar keep “Pete give us a Park”
“You sure John?”
“yea bring it on” <downs whisky> “right I best get ‘ome see you tomorrow
Pete” and to me “nice to meet you young man” at this point he tried to
knock my teeth out by hitting me on the back with the palm of his hand,
then he left.

Pete told me that he’d had 8 pints and that he had been reluctant to
serve the Highland Park because he felt sorry for the mans wife.

In that minute I swore I’d never live next to a pub.

Good God. And it's still running?

 

Yes but it is in need of a little TLC, it’s started to cough, splutter
and occasionally stall mainly when cold, the owner recons it’s running
rich, also the bike back fires when engine braking, particularly if it’s
sustained. I’ll be posting a new thread at some point requesting info on
how to fix these things; I may even put a photo of it up some where so
everyone can see how ugly it is [1].

[1] very very is the answer[2]
[2] I don’t mind and it does mean it’s unlikely to get nicked

I thought that it was perfectly sober drivers followed by Cancer.

Something like 3000 people die on the roads each year.

The figures for cancer and heart disease are in the hundreds of
thousands.

 

I think heart disease is about 100,000 (ish) per year.

 

Even if you are just talking about traffic collisions you are wrong

 

I believe that recent Thames Valley/MK police figures implicate alcohol and
speeding combined in less than 25% of serious accidents. Idiots are probably
the biggest killer, but they're hard to detect until they cause a problem.

 

They had an *appalling* reputation, those FI ones. Yamaha dropped them
very fast in the USA and we never got them here at all You'd be best
looking for a set of carbs from a normal XJ750 or 650, to be honest.

 

You have a choice to eat unhealthy foods, do no exercise and smoke, but you
don't have a choice to be murdered by a drink driver.

Comparing: self inflicted illness and murder on the road, is ridiculous.



U all ride safely, now ;-)
