Selling bikes - like shooting fish in a barrel. But have you ever tried shooting fish in a barrel? Enter Luke Ponsford and his Browning Prestige 28" (over and under). Fish: 4 Luke: 0
my luck as a motorcycle salesman. Sales manager Luke Gregory looks glum. "Normally by mid-morning we'll have sold 10 bikes," he confesses. "But so far today we've only shifted two over the phone. And a scooter."I have a feeling I won't be adding

. And he finished seventh in the World S1 Supermoto series. If you've heard of Mettet forgive the history lesson; if you haven't here's the deal. Every year since 1986 this sleepy Belgium backwater turns itself into a heaving mass of supermoto madness
