    I cannot see where the fuss is. There is already a far better alternative route north... I might even have to travel along it today.

    I see that the tunnels are going to be toll-free for motorcycles.

    As said earlier, doesn't matter what you are going to try to do, carting, parachuting, pot holing, surprising your wife by doing the ironing and burning her favourite skirt... We have the assumption that it's all pretty doable because other human beings do it so easily... and that's how first impressions and stupid accidents occur...

    The only way to get that experience is to actually do it (which not many will and not for much longer than 5 minutes)... Make riding a bike compulsory for 6 months before getting a car licence... They either learn how to enjoy riding a bike and/or they change their first impression of what a bike is capable of and how visible they really are on the road... just my .2

    I've now been taught how to set the iron
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    It's good to see we're not prepared to let solid facts get in the way of a good assumption...

    We start with an empty bag of experience and a full bag of luck, the trick is to fill the empty bag with experience before you empty the bag of luck.
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    Nice ... but you're assuming that everyone knows this!!!

    obviously you're not a fatalist...

    I think the SV's have got a lovely curvy ass end.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Strange thing is that the teeth on a zip are close together so I think the merge like a zip is dangerous because there is no following distance rule applied...

    The K2 and earlier are even curvy-er but yes I do enjoy admiring the SV from every angle
