Dave2:
I avoid this sort of idiocy by VERY careful driving - also, my R65 has crash bars made of 41/40 stainless and being an ex French police bike, it has larger forks. My machine either goes over, or through the plastic scooters that they use here.
Graeme:
Regarding the "bali boy" who was done for possession of dope - YES, he did buy it, YES, he did smoke it and YES, he did go to a massage after consuming the controlled product.
When I was his age, I didn't know what dope was, I'd never heard of massage parlours - but I did have a 1954 BMW R 25/3!
Some kids just get a better upbringing I guess!
