Curious, just how many doors do you think a sidecar has? :?

You mean all those bikes I've bought over the years should have came with doors? :headbang:

I've been done!

If you knew my 15 year old daughter, or my wife, you would realise why that made me laugh out loud :lol:
I was thinking of getting another bike; so two birds, one stone and all that....

Women should only be driving three things mate - Sinclair C5, Mclaren buggy and an Asda shopping trolley but under guidance as those wheels never go in the same direction and you don't want to pay for 100 jars of tikka sauce do you :rofl:

    Thanks Andrew, very kind of you to think of me :P
    That's inevitably going to be bought by a local chav and race up and down my road with the rest of 'em, then revving the engine in Sainsbury's car park for the rest of the night :roll:

    Got 2 weeks until the Skoda can go back. Narrowed it down and going to a couple of car supermarkets on Saturday to see if the ball-and-chain likes them.

    I find selective hearing rather painful. After the second noncommittal grunt a slap round the head normally ensues.
