There are thousands of them flapping around over here...

BTW 'Budgerigar' derives from an Aboriginal word meaning 'good food'.So when you get sick of it... Bon appettit.

aye was talking to my cousin about this and he said that is cos there is a high risk of groin injury - what nob heads. The fun of a high, low and neutral gear is what made the chopper cool. Specially when you got neutral and your knees hit the bars by mistake
