Aye, it's not big or clever but neither was I big or clever and a few years on I pay far more heed to other peoples concerns.

If I'd been much quieter as a pup, I'd never have left my bedroom.
Most teenagers need to kick things into the air a bit or they'll just blindly accept the shite that old people tell them as fact.

To be fair to Dazzle, I'm not noticing him blindly accepting old peoples word as fact.
He's pretty good at bursting bubbles with well placed pointy numbers and seems a pretty good egg to me.

You also have to remember I didn't even get a licence until 1 year before cruising and being annoying became outright illegal - because I wasn't old enough. :lol:

Different times with different policing. Basically all you old farts DLAC lead to the man actually doing something about it. So thanks ;)

I did however do my car driving test with a speeding ticket (from bike) playing the role of my licence, having been caught a week earlier :lol:

I'm fully aware that I'm partially responsible for the deceptives at Boxhill no longer being dual carriageway and all the speed cameras between Buxton and Matlock, though having driven across the Cat and Fiddle and down the A6 this year I think the speeds I used to do were stupid, there's a downhill bit of the A6 between Buxton and Bakewell where I had a 1985 GSXR750 hitting the rev limiter in sixth gear, so probably about 155mph, maybe 160.

That made me conjure the scene in Jungle book where Baloo is teaching Mowgli to box. That image of Baloo sadly shaking his head and saying,"pitiful'. :P
