No doubt that things have changed Jerry, it's a different world now, and sometimes hard to see anything good.

The camera system installed on a straight dual carriageway catching 1000s of people going to work at the industrial estate seems to have gone missing on both sides of the carriageway. The poles had 8 devices bolted on. My boy and Grandaughter got caught with it. Surprising how the bolts come loose on these yellow poles

Royal Enfield Bullet riders can't help laughing. 😁

When Sgt. Nigel, Police Motorcycle Instructor, was both disciplining and teaching riders at Dutch Eddie's (including us under-age), he gave us loads of good positive riding instructions and tips & used to laugh what to do if you got it wrong.
It amused him to use BSA even though he was on a Speed Twin - if facing danger choose these in order, until you are clear, or crash:
B - brake to reduce impact speed, but keep the bike upright.
S - swerve, let brakes go & swerve around the incident, if there's room.
A - accelerate clear.

The Bizzie's Bikes were famed to be the fastest accelerating vehicles in Liverpool, low geared but flat out at just over 70 mph & they proved it regularly.

Some of Sgt. Nigel's top tips:
be your own idiot, don't follow the other idiot blind;
never accelerate into a closing gap;
never overtake on the approach to side roads;
never open the throttle until you are sure you won't have to back off;
snow is fun, but ice is painful.

Proud to have survived as one of Sgt. Nigel's "Bloody Scallies".

Pity we now leave kids wanting to ride doomed as targets for drug dealers and runners, rather than finding them Sgt. Nigels. I did for some 50cc twist & goes here some 15 years ago & was thanks by Northants Traffic Police.
