A motorbike worth 160,000 Danish Kronor has been given to MP Jørn Dohrmann, who serves on the Denmark’s transport committee.

The bike was given to the MP at the same time as his party, the Danish People's Party, presented a proposal in parliament which would greatly benefit Danish motorcycle dealers.

Dohrmann said that it was only natural that he should accept the offer.

Actually I think you'll find the newbie forum is better suited for practicing:

But at least you've managed to make it work.

Dohrmann has decided to return the motorbike ‘donated’ to him by Suzuki, following heavy criticism. . “It has always been my intention to return the motorbike so I shall do that as soon as possible,” he said, promising to return it by the end of August.

Dohrmann, who also serves on the Parliament’s traffic committee, had recently accepted the bike saying it is more environmentally friendly than most cars.

Perhaps it could be seen as buying influence?

Maybe he's returning it for publicity... First week in September he will probably "Buy" a new one! :rofl:
