Not yet managed to fall asleep while riding but have been guilty of snatching a few minutes sleep under a plastic flysheet on the side of the road on many a marathon run in the outer colonies :}

asleep for 17 minutes , travelled, 32 feet. :lol:

Which model 175? The 482?


to be honest lumpy I'm not sure what model, it had a sort of pear shaped tank it was an old T reg (Tow 863T) I actually bought it from a lad when I was at HMS Nelson so it was actually a Pompey bike

I would have based it upon the same criteria as evolutionary fitness.....


......The ability to adapt to your surroundings.
