Purely out of curiosity, how many Bikers do we have in here?
Feel free to reply listing what your current/most recent steed is/was
Wet mud faceplant, lol.
Did that hurt? Good to see you were wearing proper clothing!
Didn't hurt tbh. I wear this hard-shell armor underneath a kevlar jacket.

Trust me, there are a completely different experience! lol... I tried a couple last year and, the whole head-shake thing at around 20mph really made me uneasy - despite being a skilled and experienced rider!
As soon as I saw the signwriting on the sidecar I was thinking about escaping my current jobs and doing something similar using my Morris Minor.
I rode a 3 wheel trike with my two children on the back. Cornering was strange to begin with. And one of the back wheels fell off once, which was a bit of a shock!
My balance isn't great so I always feel wobbly on 2 wheels!
That sounds quite marvellously eccentric!
My ex-husband's brother had a bike and sidecar. The story goes that the first time he rode it, he got to the first bend and went straight on, through a large hedge and into a field. Seems it didn't put him off.
I think I'd be too scared to try to ride one!
Yes, I think that may be true! My dad had a Norton motorcycle with a sidecar he built on the kitchen table. Until I was about 4 years old me and my siblings were taken out in the sidecar regularly. Eventually it got replaced by a Morris Traveller.
The one above is used by a bloke who is a gramophone DJ playing 78s at parties and weddings!
