    Well, there's a story around it (there always is)

    It was a gift, from a biker who said he'd never ride again. he lobbed
    his bike whilst wearing it in the middle of the GRA,[1] on a wet rainy
    night.

    His lasting memory of the episode was cars and trucks going by his head
    at about 90MPH (i.e without slowing down, or even giving a shit) until
    some passing Carabinieri took pity on him :)

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Hmm... No, don't like that idea at *all*.

    But if it's going to be that way, I'll have "****", "Thunderbird", "two"
    and "yeast".

    You mean you have _less_ of a will to live.

  8. They tend to be ridden by different types of people, so yes, I'd say we
    need to hang on to both of them to allow the cardy-wearing, Motorcycle
    Sport-buying, pipe-smoking old duffers to carry on talking about them.

    And where better for them to be talked about than right here on
    uk.rec.motorcycles?

    RFD for uk.rec.motorbikes, anyone?

    But of course! I have a whole drawer full of them in the workshop. Both
    hand and machine.

    Some are metric.
