anyone here ride a motorbike?

[bednobs]

we went past one of those stupid looking bikes today like this: http://www.google.co....1t:429,r:2,s:61,i:345
and it got me thinking - doesn't it hurt your arms?

[joggerjayne]

Ooh, me ... I do!

And Sunny-Dave does.

I've never ridden one like that, though.

Good for posing around American Malls - rubbish for actually riding anywhere at any sort of speed ...

^ left hand drive moped at the moment dave?

[sunny-dave]

I thought I had rented a peugeot 208 (nice and small for the tight roads in towns here)...

... the buggers at the airport gave me a 'free upgrade' - which was very nice - but the vehicle turned out to be a peugeot 5008 - which is the size of a small charabang, with manoeuvrability to match ...

[joggerjayne]

Just Googled the 5008.

It looks like one of those people carrier things.

Great fer moms with kids.

Not so good on holiday.

Except for girls weekends away.

Ideal for girls trips, with about 8 of you.

Yep, it's just perfect for those girls tri ...

Heeeeey, just a minute Dave ... have you sneaked off with a carload of babes for a naughty holiday ???????

And R1Geezer rides a motorbike.

I think he rides ... erm ... an R1 ?

[joggerjayne]

Or did he say he'd replaced the R1 ... ?

Was it a Honda VFR ???

[sunny-dave]

I wish JJ - the harem all seemed to have 'prior engagements' or be washing their gerbil or some such excuse ...

[joggerjayne]

Oh, shame.
