    Doesn't deserve the death threats, but the guy is a idiot. Blaming alcohol for doing taking the piss out of a religion is just sad.

    Well they've either stolen that idea or bought it from the guy in the USA who invented and developed the concept. And to be honest, I prefer his. In fact I wouldn't mind one of his myself, if it ever gets into production. Problem is, it is way ahead of its time, as far as motorcyclists go. But it is entirely practical.
    The idea of making a bike so that it can be ridden without a helmet is to make it fully enclosed. Basically, a slim two-wheeled car that won't fall over, but has all the other characteristics of a motorcycle. Here's the original. Much more elegant, in my opinion:


    There are several videos around of this same original Lit Motors C1. Not to be confused with the Swiss, conventionally engined, all-enclosed Monotracer, which can fall over, but has a clever way of getting itself back upright. But it's way more expensive.

    Another way to avoid falling over is to give it 4 wheels. I'm going to call my invention a car. :)

    He's an idiot, always has been. Kyrgios is an idiot, always has been. Fury is an idiot, always has been.

    On another note, Hamilton just pulled out of a Mercedes testing session with a 'sore foot'.

    Of course none of the above are linked in the slightest.

    I would kiss you better, but then I might catch it and woman flu is far more deadly....as it is actually an illness.

    Oh, okay then. <smooch>

    Good to hear that...I would have benefitted if it had been available....could have saved me from needing an op or at least delayed it. Such a simple thing and could be done by a nurse....wouldn't even need a doctor initially.

    Correct. 25 minutes with the nurse, few questions and blood pressure and cholesterol done there and then.

    Ps. I think that means biscuits are good :)
