What is BD riding?

It is different, it is interesting, it is exciting and it probably really performs but it is "not" a motorcycle so it is still stuck in traffic.

Shit you must really hate your job!

I had a look at them at Big Boys Toys last year. I want one. How about you swing by the Waikato on your next test ride Dave and I will swap you for a ride on a new Yammy

Nope. Means exactly what I said it means.

Looks alright... At the price range of around $30,000 seems we will see it commonly on the road soonish... Unlike the other 3 wheeled vehicle we discussed and critisized about some months ago... Forgot the name of that thing...

The traction control does not bring about, accomplish, make happen, the front end of the vehicle.

It:

affect
–verb (used with object)
to act on; produce an effect or change in

^ does that to it.

Are you absolutely sure about that?

Over in Australia the Federal Government has issued a ruling that they need a full bike license to ride.

And apart from that - I still don't agree.
It's effected by the traction control whereas what the traction control does is an affect.

Next.

Yes to all of the above - except the last bit.
