Prediabetic may now be just "diabetic"

Only bikers really know why dogs put their heads out car windows.
I used to ride racehorses.......same effect when it goes right, with the added spice of random changes of height and direction.

Sorry for extending the derailment.
 
No problem, happy to chat. forgot to say, the Deauville is a v twin, Rebel upright twin. Both go and handle pretty well for mid size (nowadays) bikes. Listed the Deauville as "SORN" (off the road) when my legs problems started, just had a reminder that the Rebel needs an MoT by the end of the month, which gives me a week to make the boots fit, get it booked in, and hope the weather behaves, or take it off road till I can. A few people and riders moan about different makes, I don't care, two wheels is fine, be it Cruiser, Sports, Tourer, Scooter or dirt bike. All fun
 
I had a BSA 650cc A10, twin, with a double Watsonian sidecar I used to use for transporting the gear of a duo from home to pub, and back again often with a drunken guitarist lashed to the luggage rack on the top.
Those were the days - all on a learner licence too.
I used to ride the BSA in a mini skirt and knee high platform soled boots.
I dressed more sensibly when on the Triumph Tiger Cub and then I got a Suzuki 175 and a Kawasaki 250.
 
Can't remember what bike and sidecar, but that's the earliest family transport I remember with my mum and dad. MY sister and I would be in the sidecar, dad riding and mum pillion - unless we hit a shower, then he'd pull over and all cram into the sidecar till it stopped. After a chat wityh my dads, I started with bootys, jeans, leather jacket and open face helmet. Helmet soon got upgraded to a full face
