From: Simon Wilson on 15 Apr 2010 15:18 Got to the front of an incident on the M4 west coming home, in time to see the fake police help some biker hobble off to the hard shoulder. No idea what happened, seems a lorry and a couple of a cars involved. But enough of all that, I was the first one to be let through when they re-opened the road. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.[1] [1]I didn't last long against the Porsche though.[2] [2]It didn't take long for the 'busa[3] to catch up my poor little B6 either. [3]Could that have been Gyp? I've never met him. Biker all in black, shiny 'busa, his riding gear seemed to be tad 'snug'. -- /Simon

A (proper) copper gave me the "take it easy" hand gesture, and me, a CBR6 and an SP2 gave it the berries from Sevenoaks to Maidstone. Paul.

We shouldn't absolutely discount the possibility that some ham-fisted "maintenance" resulted in a throttle stuck WFO. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I've always been a man who's open to persuasion |
