    [or teaching professionals than anything nefarious.

    WHAT is a teaching professional ? Is that a new PC term for nefarious, or is it some other deviant?

    How long have Suzuki been making Inflatable ladies?

    The results are all my fault - I skewed the statistics by buying my first bike last year. Sorry.

    What would be more accurate would be what percentage of male riders crashed vs what percentage of female riders crashed...
    whatever the ratio, women will show a lower percentage in accident statistics.
    This is due to a smaller percentage of women exhibit coprocephaly than men.

    I would assume... that maybe a teaching professional would infact be... * a teacher *

    Well done. I've got 21 years out of two of my Hondas so far. Disposable motocycles phewwy!! Got a few grey hears in the process to prove it. Age has nothing to do with it.

    I don't mind being called old. But being tied in with "stockbrokers, corporate managers or teaching professionals" - them's fighting words! How do we get back to being "lawless tough and nefarious".
