It has been one week
 
Since crash test Dave of Preston purchased insurance, to the best of my knowledge he has not yet crashed.

Has he been riding? His good lady says he has been to Halifax, but he could just be saying that and instead ventured out as far as the pub for a bender.

Is he reformed. I thought his record was 20 minutes. Maybe he is going for a duration record instead of how quick he can crash this time.

Is this post tempting fate?

Don't think fate needs tempted when it comes to Dave! I think fate will be tempted by the very fact he has gotten on his bike!

OMG!

DP doing long journies! He'll need a map or a long piece of string.

Does he buy insurance by the month just in case...

I'm guessing he got life insurance as well as bike insurance this time?

Re: It has been one week
 
has he actually put any miles on his bike?

Dave has a few miles on his bike,but usually on the side to save the tyres:D







Couldn't resist and will probably cost me a pint;)

One day he will realise that plastics cost more than tryes though.

On the plus side, hes keeping the minitwinners going with all the low mileage engines hes sticking into the reclaimers yards....:rolleyes:

He was at Elvington pub Saturday night - they had to resuscitate him when he bought me a soft drink! Didn't know you could do the Heimlich Manoeuvre THERE!
How he got there nobody knows, but Berlin carted him off ( with a few others ) in his passion wagon/race transporter.
Not heard of him since, but if Carl looks in the caravan at Croft this weekend he might get a fright! ;)

I don't believe him!!! I have not seen this Dave of Preston anywhere near Hx......he lies!!!!

Although I do remember offering him an invitation for tomorrow.....dare I chance reminding him? He may just crash into all the bikes on my driveway, causing carnage:smt101

Obviously Rictus was plyed with way too much woo woo, and you took advantage of a poor bloke with a leg brace!!

My Raptor is way too small and compact for a jolly green giant.........just before you get any ideas:smt016

Well he hasn't rang me asking what parts fit what model so I guess he did, though one can never be sure
