    As you've already said Charlie is a lecturer at Lincoln Uni. Rides a yellow BMW R1200RS. He has done a fair bit of riding in the NI and been to Pukekohe a few times. Haven't seen him for a year or two now though so don't really know what he's been up to.

    "The number of motorbikes on the road is increasing dramatically and riders are more seriously injured if they are in a crash because they have less protection than those in a car," Gilbert said.

    No shit. Really?!??

    These guys are geniuses.
    What you have in your heart will be revealed through what you have in your life.

    If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.

    Off road bikes maybe. Not off road accidents. These should never be used as a basis to change or justify laws that don't apply to them i.e. the ROAD rules. This is why they should never be included with accidents that actually happen on the road.
