That's the trouble with you bloody computer zealots, you can only see
things in black or white, true or false.  There is a third choice in
motorcycles - real motorcycles - made for riding on the roads, not the
tracks, or posing in Queen Street - BMW motorcycles, made to last forever!

It may interest you to know that not all motorcyclists hunch in a racing
position.  Some of us lean slightly forward and ride carefully 100,000km in
the last 3 years without any dangerous incidents.  Mind you, I have never
had it over 195kph.

Re the Vincent Black Shadow, Jill's BMW is a 1000cc twin.
