It also didn't cover a helicoptering off the side of a mountain for my wife when spending a day off the bike and walking a mountain trail near Les Arcs in the Alps. She slipped a...

I must say you seem to have had more than your share of trouble with that bike...

Some years ago we were meeting friends at a local pub. As we turned up a couple were leaving and their starter was whirring away but not turning the engine over. Sounded like a classic damaged ring gear on the flywheel. I told the guy to put the car in a high rear and release the handbrake. I leaned...
