    None of those are correct - they're never gonna ask a 150 rider!!
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    But not too quick that everyone think's you're a wanker.
    Yep, Dooly's got ot right. We've all been in that situation, but here's a question - who gets the biggest rush, the kids or your ego.

    Also for all but I few I'd guess that pulling a big wheelie could end in looking like a wanker when you stuff it up.

    I've taken a few kids as pillion on my bikes over the years and 50kmph seems fast to them, so option C would be my choice. We may feel like we're riding off like a nana but to most kids we're the rulers of the road!!

    Funny how some of the guys who chose option A couldn't pull an impressive wheelie to save themselves, and a street magic don't count!

    Arrow Meh.

    where is:

    e. anything is quicker than a gixxer.

    ???























































    (pt).

    I tend to say, yeah its fast, but the road hurts so I tend to behave on it...
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
