    I was enjoying it too, until I fell asleep on the sofa and missed the second half! That was because I was knackered, not through boredom!

    I like the way that motorbikes are summed up near the end "noise,danger,discomfort and dirt"

    talking to Leigh at Phoenix training, when the powers at be changed the rules from 500cc to 650 the top of the list of suitable bikes for learners was a Brough Superior as it met weight and power requirements... don't think so.

    Cos it's cheaper than the originals!
