    Now your posting on an web forum, what a comedown.

        Oh, that it should come to this.

        How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
        Seem to me all the uses of this world!
        Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,
        That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
        Possess it merely. That it should come to this!
        Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.

            Mine was the opposite - Benelli 250 2c no power but great handling and crap electrics

              Trying to kill yourself on a BMX.

              My brother gave a good outing and beat the rest of us with 4 days in hospital.

                So Hamlet was big in the 80's, I do remember there were a lot of ads for his cigars on the telly.

                  I'm glad I didn't get into bikes that early - I would have probably killed myself given the shennanigans I got up to in my 20s. From the sound of it bikes had improved by then.
                  Bull sh!t.
