Jumping traffic at the lights: does it impress blokes?
I don't think it is seemly for a woman of my age to do tank stands - I'm not a Kate Winslet type after all - but I have found that the Buell is good for jumping traffic at the lights.
It's best with Audi TTs and Porsche Carreras, and what I do is approach the rear of the car at about 30 mph in second gear, back off briefly, and then wind the power on hard. This lifts the front wheel enough to get it over the rear bumper and then the slope of the car does the rest. Using this technique, I have in fact successfully cleared a grid-lock of six buses at the Elephant and Castle, and two broken down trams in Deansgate, Manchester. But really, I'm wondering if this impresses fit and healthy young men (especially Guy Owen)? Perhaps Guy, you've done this on your Honda 360? If so, I bet it was impressive and it would certainly have had an amazing effect on me! I have done this stunt over a Volkswagen Beetle too, but frankly, the type of man who usually drives a Beetle is not the type I care to mix with. |

Camilla, I'm sure you natural charm and personality couldn't fail to pull a stunning bloke (in your opinion at least!) like Guy Owen. Stop the stunts and offer him a pillion ride in to the sunset
