First mistake there is that you sold your Manx.

I didn't notice the meth addict Norton in your garage the other week. Are calling a kettle black?

No, it's in the back passage down by the kids rooms.
Apparently It doesn't smell like the last Norton I had parked there & isint as spooky at night either according to the kids.

You're gonna need to repossess the garage next door if you don't don't get a handle on this bike addiction of yours.

Yeah, well. it was 1973 and it was worth sfa, and there was a kid.....But i did then build a TR3 copy....

I know what your kids mean by spooky - the old man used to work on some weird shit, I swear one Vincent we had there was haunted...
I personally turned a 650 Benelli into a racebike for a customer which had been involved in a double fatality. Things got moved around in the workshop at night while it was there.
No drugs or alcohol involved on my end either.

if everybody kept everybike they owned then none of them would be worth anything now.

Or maybe the COC's all train in administering the tests and reading the results. At every meeting there are (say) 5 random names pulled from a hat (in the presence of the COC and riders rep) and the tests are done in the presence of the COC, riders rep and a representative chosen by the person being tested. Just as the pigs will show you the un tampered with breathalyzer vile in a roadside breath test the same would be done at the track.
Also included could be if any rider or team member is visibly impaired (in the opinion of the COC AND riders rep) that person could be tested.
The procedure and testing device/equipment used MUST be of the same type at every meeting.

It's bad enough having a professional look at your cock while you piss. Let alone track staff.

Bloody hell - have you ever done the CoC's job at a big meeting ? Put simply, there is just not enough time to add that on as well.

personally, I backed away from CoC work when it became obvious that giving out a Stewards ticket with the CoC one was a way of fixing the shortage of Stewards. If I'd had to look at cocks as part of it I would have turned and run....

**sidecar bob** · 18th August 2015, 07:34

And what happens if your mrs really likes the coc?

Maybe a selected person from the club that is running the event. It doesn't matter who does it as long as the person(s) are properly trained in the procedure and it is done to the letter of the procedure.

Drew, when they do the piss test at my work the person running it may ask you to turn out your pockets to make sure you aren't packing any one else's clean piss. You are given a cup with a screw on lid and are escorted to the bog where you give the sample. The sample is then handed over, tested for temperature then a test strip in dipped and then examined. The results are immediate. No one actually sees your cock. I hated doing it so I made sure I pissed on the outside of the cup as well as in it.
