That is a classic.
It's always men too.
I think their ego can't cope with admitting that bikes frighten them.

"Have you ever come off?"

Ye once when I was young and stupid.

"Did it hurt?"

To be honest this is why I love young kids because they have no inhibitions and say what they are thinking. Good thread Dan.

Was stood with Allen Millyard at the Shalbourne show last year when he first showed the "Flying Millyard" and people would come up and say.

"I have never seen one of those before"

"You won't because I built it"

"Do you have any problems getting it thru the MOT"

"Its brand new, you do not need an MOT"

The FM was road tested by the MCN this week, yes I know its crap nowadays!
