It IS a toy

an ugly yellow banana toy

I detests that bike I do, wait, it's the actions of the rider I detest

I want a big bike to return all those "Funny things" you did, back to you

That's not so dumb - there are Leadw... sorry- Goldwings in the US of the A that have retractable trainer wheels that tuck up into the panniers. (For those whose feet don't quite reach the ground, or who are too decrepit to heft 793,248kg of bike.)

You're just a little off the mark there. The 1500 'Wing weighs approx 400kg. As has been stated elsewhere in the thread, they don't fall over very far.

It is possible for one person to pick it up. Back up to it, grasp the pillion seat handle and the bars and then stand up, so you use you leg muscles to do the lifting. I know this coz I dropped mine in the dip at the top of the drive once

I refuse to bite!

you bastard....

Truth is...could any of us (I know I couldn't) try to stop a Goldwing from falling over if it started to go????

Well.....let me tell you - the guy that owns it is a BIG boy.....umm people who have met Big Dave will understand.......yeah. Anyway, he let it get away from him at a petrol station....it went over to about 45degrees then stopped....resting on the engine bars. It took the rider and a helpful assistant to get the bike upright again!

All in good fun though G - so if I get too big for my boots again, just do one of two things:

1. Yell out "DUCK!" (anyone who doesn't realise why i am afeared of flying birdies since a wee "incident" last year - search the forums!)

2. Kick the shit outta me!
