    I have binned 3 times on the road, maby 4 I forget....
    crashed 21 times on 2-3 hours on the track, I dont think I learnt anything apart from on the 21th time that snapping your heatset on a scooter takes ages to fix...

    Judging by your buying and selling recently, you have also learnt that if you want to go fast your engine shouldn't be hanging on one side of your rear wheel!

    Always stop whenever you see another bike on the side of road, eg broken down or lost. We are supposed to be a brotherhood!
    There is no dark side of the moon, really, as a matter of fact. Its all dark...

    I hear that... I've stopped for others a couple of times... even if there's nothing you can do to help, it still feels better to know there are others watching out for us.

    8" wheels dont help either, but scooter are a lot more fun around town...

    Pulling up behind cars - check where the exhaust is and sit on the other side (avoid being gassed)

    Always ride leaving yourself somewhere to go if the worst happens. This usually means riding in the RH wheeltrack unless you are in the fast lane.

    Always follow a wheel track, anything that will cause you a puncture is already stuck in a cage's tyre....

    And another rule: If you're going to drink and drive, park around the corner...
