There is a reason my sons hospital call motor scooters, ankle slicers ...
But if you're waiting for a transplant the hot summer has meant a longer wait, the surgeons have been known to look out of the window and because it's raining say, "not long now" ... greasy roads are a bugger for motorcycles ...
Greasy roads are terrible, but you do get how to handle a bike and its all about speed.
I know a local lad who came off his bike last year on the Lochgilphead road came off over 100
hes a mess not much left of his shoulder & forearm when sliding down the tarmac, he broke his
neck & back, the docs said his back pack saved him no more riding for him.
Why was he doing 100mph? jut not on at all.
Before i even engage first its I am wearing: boots, leather trousers and a jacket and so many dont bother with gloves no idea why but the only bare skin you will see of mine exposed is my face and thats usually behind a visor.
