yeah but there is object fixation, and then there is object fixation, dedication and determination to absolutely hit it!

Sorry guys but I think that you are way off the mark with the fixation theories. 100% that guy had no knowledge of how to control a bike and basically it took him where it wanted. Just damn bad look that the stupid tree jumped out on him,as they do! :P

and my mum

when i was 16 my mum and dad got me a moped as we were moving house and i needed to gt to my part time job and see pals and stuff.

my neighbour owned a motorbike shop so my dad did a deal and one evening an almost new Honda runaway (google it ) with only 200 miles on was delivered, my dad hadnt even got home from work and my mum decided shes like to try, how hard can it be.

so mum gets on the scooter no helmet or anything, this is 1986 the laws were different then before i can tell her what the controls do shes off, panics and instead off braking, opens the throttle, stuffs it into those little knee high fences that they put on new estates and launches over it onto no9's new lawn, scooter goes sideways down path on shiny engine cases and mum ends up on the grass with her skirt round her head, with the neighbour rushing over to make sure shes ok, in a fluster moment mum tells new neighbour to f*** off and i spend next hour painting engine cases with airfix enamel paint so my dad doesnt see the damage .

he even commented when he got home that the bike must have hardly been used cos the paintwork still smelt new.
