The same is also said for the more beer you have drunk en route!!<br /><br />There is nothing wrong with being careful and thinking about what you are doing. Its such a shame that not everyone does it!!Naughty-Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266614472914124966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725926446980545183.post-34399912865207100942011-04-12T23:29:00.167+01:002011-04-12T23:29:00.167+01:00Hello Rachel.

Or maybe its OCD - never sure which it is. ;-)<br /><br />Mags is going to concentrate on the helms-person role when we get out at Easter - in the main because she has tweeked her sciatic nerve. What are the odds that I fall in!<br /><br />Mick and crewMike and Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252646448078744534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725926446980545183.post-73250299355981799292011-04-12T23:20:50.789+01:002011-04-12T23:20:50.789+01:00Hello Peter and Margaret.

However, on four wheels, though there have been times (when she is at the wheel)that I was sure we were running on two. I have just clocked up 48 years on two wheels. I have had three incidents in that time. Diesel on a slow speed tight country corner. Once after leaving the side stand down. The last one being a little old lady who opened her car door in a queue of standing traffic to brush off some crumbs from her packed lunch. <br /><br />I have discovered that the older you get the less you bounce.

I was lucky enough to be able to take, (and pass), the police driving / riding courses and get paid at the same time! The V.I.P driver course was particularly interesting! As a result, when my own son went through the usual process of wanting a motorcycle, (moped), at 16, I actively encouraged him, with a proper training course to test pass level. I believe a motorcyclist always makes a safer driver, and all drivers should have some sort of two wheeled training as part of the process of learning to drive.Peter Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941073132300695291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725926446980545183.post-20446833555720926202011-04-12T13:35:59.060+01:002011-04-12T13:35:59.060+01:00Thats a long list!

We have developed a nice routine that we try and follow each time. Usually cocked up of course when sharing a lock with someone else who does things differently.Naughty-Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266614472914124966noreply@blogger.com
