Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

I love crash acting. You can imagine the Sergeant picking some recruit out and telling him to lie in the hedgerow with his feet sticking out!

Still think the 3/4 length coats are a practical solution.

That was brilliant. I laughed at how many times you saw someone heaving on a kickstart 6 or 7 times. Thumpers never have been the easiest things to start!

Watching the film had me thinking... 60 - 70 years of motorcycle development, a matching time for learning and rider training techniques to improve rider knowledge & skills and what do we get??

...An army of middle aged men still wobbling around on BMW's like two year olds on pedal bikes.  ;D ;D ;D

Heyho.
