Yeah ... I have absolutely no inclination to ride on the roads. I see too
many motorists changing lanes in front of bikes that they haven't seen (and
too many bikes taking the p*ss and weaving through traffic) to even fancy
trying it. Do fancy the idea of a usefull tool to have some fun with.
Anyway
... the guy at work is n no rush to sell and one of our bretheren has told
me that I can have a play on one of his "saner" bikes first ...
I'll run a
couple of pictures up to the group files area at some point soon and you
can
have a go at guessing who it is!
