I often ride on two wheels

Not for a year though - usually for a fraction of a second innocent

As long as they are on the same side rather than the same end you should be OK!

The engine is more powerful than the chassis can really cope with, as admitted to me by the factory driver who took me out in one. Now if you are Lewis, you will happily cope. Most of us arent Lewis so it only needs some clumsy right foot on a bad surface for things to get exciting.

I totally agree and was surprised that most on here would not have spent at least 10 years on 2 wheeled transport during their earlier life.

Today we drove to Aberystwyth from machynlleth. Wet greasy road
I was in a 220bhp boxster
nothing to report
on the return journey same road conditions
vauxhall astray on its roof in a field
police /Ambo in attendance
kiddy driver in the Ambo
says it all really
lone driver at fault, Ncb gone,
Same applies to nearly all "accidents "
After 30yrs driving in the thin blue line as a advanced grade 1
experience counts
lack of experience shows.
unless your Prince Phillip........ cop
