Yes, everyone else maybe melting to death on the roads but not us! Because we have a car with hair conditioner! I mean what in the name of sanity did they think we want it for? To make sure that the roof rack is more shiny and managable?

 A pigeon bounced off the screen on the Tiger once at low speed as i just pulled off from lights, and many years ago a small bird flew out of a hedge and hit my shoulder with enough force to knock my hand off the clutch side of the bar, winded me. had one hell of a briuse.

so this guy is very lucky indead to survive

Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!

A seagull lost a race with my helmet once, going over the A48 Stormy Down (before the speed limit/cameras), I was going quite slow for those days (!) - probably got it down to about 70ish by the time the lumbering thing felt its backside flashing through its mind.

I was absolutely blitzed with feathers and red gunge, the bike also. I actually got cleaned up with a pressure car wash jet, but I was finding bits of intestine in my pockets for some days later. I had a very sore neck for a few days.

And yes, I was wearing hi-viz.
