I wanted to be a rock star - but I play like shyte
I wanted to drive a rally car - but I didn't have enough money
as I got older
I wanted to be a preacher man - but god gave up on me
I wanted to own my own car yard - that would be a silly thing to do in todays market
Now - I want to work for Unicef or Oxfam at some stage

Back in the olden days I trained as a nurse. We were hospital trained back then, you know, hands on learn as you go training. We all had to sign a paper the first day of our course to say the Hospital Board did not guarantee a job at the end of our training. There were 18 girls in my intake. A couple dropped out during the course so we were 16 looking for jobs, 3 of us got them.
I got the permanent night shift job in an infected wounds ward :first: another got an any ward, any shift position :second: and heaven help her the other got the primo hours 8am-4:30pm Monday to Friday :third: Only snag was what she was doing...

No doubt but surely at the end of the day its nothing but opinion based upon nothing but the writers own experiance....go figure,it cant be anything else.Never once have i read a bike test that said "no matter my opinion is purely that,i cant ride the thing but put someone onboard that can ride and no doubt this thing rocks i just dont have the ability to do it".Imagine the response from helmet providers "err can you send that back it doesnt suit our image,or at least remove the tinted visor".

It is on my bucket list to take a tour of the factory + Have a lunch + a Co-Pilot/ Test drive on a 911.
