This bloke's either having the best time of his life, or he's stupid...or both/neither

 

90cc Simson , Apparently they can be tuned upto 17Hp. Only 85kg

 

Looks like he's got his own little mountain course going on too

We used to have an army doctor on ear who would sometimes put up some mega pics of the eeejits with shorts/t-shirt road rash.

I have a terrible memory but do remember him telling us that they have to scrub out the gravel.....and they do this before administering any pain killers as they thin the blood and make em leak too much...maybe he made all that up but it worked for me.
"Whats up", "Piston Broke", "Yeah me too...hic"

Yep I'm sure that's what they do.

And coming from a family of mostly nurses, i think that secretly some of them love it !

 

My sister (senior nurse) used to lecture me about motorbikes, and called riders 'donors', and then she took up bicycling again and 3 months later undertook a lorry turning left and ended up in ICU, and thankfully made a complete recovery. I never let her forget it ;)

The speeds some of the cyclists manage (especially downhill) with just a bit of lycra on makes me wince at the thought of them having an off.


The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so there’s no proof.

Looks like he used all his petrol in ten minutes! Why would anyone want to ban two smokes? Even a 100cc ped with a decent pipe sounds awesome. Only a CBX-6 wail comes close.
