Cupid stunts

It's not big, it's not clever but it's compulsive viewing...
Sometimes, pictures are worth a thousand words...

Pillion law conundrum
1988 sect 23, MV(DL)R 1999 reg 16(6) & CUR 1986 reg 102]The word 'should' provided our loophole. In the eyes of those versed in law 'should' is an advisory word whereas 'must' carries no such ambiguity.Horse cop definitely didn't see the funny side

They might be giants: Triumph Tiger & Benelli Tre K
By Mark Forsyth on 29/07/2010 09:54:59

First Ride: Harley-Davidson Softail Slim
By mark forsyth on 09/02/2012 10:13:48
Slim Boy Fat
designed to make peak power near peak revs, the 103 has pretty alien cylinder architecture. Try a 98.4mm bore and a 111.1mm stroke for size…Obviously, it’s all about torque. Massive torque. A maximum 132NM of twisting force is delivered at just 3,250rpm
