Spaw, that's it exactly, except there aren't that many highways like that in the UK....

I'm off mine for health reasons, and now even though it's 3.30am, I just want to get on it and go for a blat somewhere..... booo hoooooooo!

I cringe inwardly when I see kids riding round with no helmet on, or just shorts and a Tshirt.... how much skin they going to lose on just a short skid? And yet, even here, the only legal requirement is a helmet secured properly.

I would never consider getting on a bike without a leather or a lid, or my big boots. Dropped a bike on my leg once, had I been wearing trainers or ordinary street shoes, my foot would have been crushed. Big biker boots saved it.

I hope he continues to ride, but I hope he does it as safely as he can.
