    Nobody ever lost the front end on the brakes, on the autobahn, in the
    pissing rain.

    Riding 650 miles with no left footpeg is an absolute barrel of laughs.

    The gleaming new clutch lever from the Honda dealer in Karlsruhe is a shiny
    vision of loveliness, but does seem a little ill-at-ease with the reality of
    being bolted to Porco Rosso.

    I don't see your problem. Daz rode his gixxer home from Sedan with
    half his gearchange missing (and plastic metal stopping an oil leak
    from the holed casing) without any drama.

    I also seem to remember Alex riding home from Tuscany with the rear
    subframe on his RGS bent about 6" out of line and his only complaint
    was that due to his recently dislocated shoulder hurting after his
    second crash of the holiday he had trouble sleeping.

    That wasn't really the most successful foray into enemy territory was
    it.

  8. I'm sorry, but Hog riding back from the Elefant with a broken leg beats
    anything.

    go and talk to the Catholics.

    Yes you can, the big gurls blouse was 'driving' an outfit,
    no riding necessary.

    True. I did comment about that earlier but I forgot that I posted that
    to one of the inner circle lists.

    Shut it or I'll tell everyone the truth in that the reason you didn't
    sleep was that you were watching porn on the hotel tv.

    Oh, I just did. Sorry.

    Heh, here, let me just re-edit that a touch for you. Needs a small sprinkle
    of realism, I think...
    Which is the more likely scenario?

    I ask the audience. Would you want to nod off in the same room as Andy,
    getting his rocks off, watching euro porn?

    Ah but I had the benefit of it being refrigerated and of having once ridden
    a KH250
