I agree entirely with Ian's serious advice. Every weekend in Box Hill in
Surrey, you'll see hundreds of bikers there showing off their throbbing
rockets between their legs. Some of the bikers have only just learnt to
walk when they are riding bikes with engines bigger than my car.

I failed that test. I wrote my 185 off when I was young but luckily got
away with "only" a broken leg in a few places. I do not wish to
put my
family through the nightmare of having a policeman calling on them at
midnight telling them of my accident again.
