    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Don't feel silly, it can be bloody difficult to stay upright in Wellyies wind.

    I find the trick is not to stop, if you are moving then you are stable. The best place to stop is between 2 cars, use them as a wind brake. Do not split past the queue to the very front of the lights, the worst of the wind is found there.
    Motorbike only search
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Nothing cures that feeling better than sharing it with the world on the internet.

    I think I would be tempted to bin it on purpose. Do it in such a way that there is only minor injury, but OSH would make sure that situation could never happen again.
