Me and bike have created a very unique character together...We've gone through it all..Ive definitely formed an emotional link with my bike and I know its ways..I feel what it feels and I hear it when it talks to me and tries to tell me stuff...I also know when it as the arse and I know when its feeling good and wants to play...
We've developed some kind of weird symbiotic relationship and me and my bike aint finished by a long shot yet..My bike is in chrysalis mode at the moment and preparing itself for its next step into the unknown evolutionary something or another...

I have no idea what I'm talking about and if you do then you got more nuts bolts and screws loose than me and my bike put together 🤣🤣🤣🦆

Overdue a lie down in a dark room, methinks. Jag ownership can do that to a man. Made John Prescott imagine he was cultured and vaguely intelligent. Duck, you’re obviously just goosed by the breakdown because you over oiled your feathers. Calm down and wear your pigskin string back gloves in bed.

On about strange machines I had the opportunity in the late 70's to use one of these for a short spell to race around Wolverhampton another feet forward design, fun but ruddy lethal. The BOND BUG with a Reliant 700cc engine [later 750cc]

NO QUESTION two wheelers always front. Reducing speed and changing direction beats acceleration every time.....but then you have to enjoy fishtailing. And the more triangular the footprint the safer; hence Jez bragging about his tracking girth 🙈. Braking into a corner will make a Bond roll every time.

I simply don't get why anyone would want one Don 🤔
It doesn't have the out in the open appeal of a bike or even a convertible car.
It's totally impractical from the angle of carrying luggage/shopping.
All it has going for it as far as I can see is you could filter in it? Unless you needed to stop & the outrigger wheels pop down & get ripped off by a passing car 😳
A very clever bit of engineering but what would a buyers requirements in a vehicle need to be before one of those would seem like a good idea? 🤔

And there are plenty of 💩 ideas looking for somewhere to happen. Central Government specialises in them. 🙄

However, the greatest idiocy of our age is the self driving car. They offend every fibre of our being so who would actually buy one? The market doesn’t exist. Autopilots in planes are only trusted because of the pilot.

My mates new bike delivered yesterday Ducati Street Fighter V4, they certainly know how to build an attractive bike!

It’s a bit like dating a supermodel, you now you’re gonna get a good ride but Christ are you gonna pay for it!

I’ll take your word for it. With erotica I have always preferred a bit more meat on the bone. They always look like they would tire too quickly. Besides, I would never dream of paying. I am an incurable romantic. A bit like people who shell out for Italian exotica.
