Smug , moi ?? , enjoyed all the exotica , of course , but sometimes wish I was a young pup , until I look at all the rules , regulations , jobsworths , 'elf and safety and all the rest of the modern day crap which passes me by

---------------thankfully , rant over ( for now )

[/quote]
I know Phil, seems like there are those that like to make up the rules

and those that like to break them when they are pointless

Like George Carlin says "What's wrong with a kid playin' with a stick?'

The fun is taken out of everything now. You used to be able to go and buy a bike, make it look and sound like your hero and crash when you felt like it.

The race regs and the whole race scene is turning into the bloody MotoGP computer game to me

. It's all balls anyway since we never have had a say or are likely to get one. Everything we do is allowed by some faceless twat in a suit!

Well sod them. I'm going to take full advantage of the roads where we are moving to and thrash unsilenced beasties for as long as I can until I get caught too many times

and then I shall plead insane for being too happy!
I hope their pricks fizz and explode!

Now Phil. if you intend ranting then you should have a really good one!
