Why do power drills have R and L?

It's best not to have a bike heavier than yourself.

I've heard of that, but just with the handlebars glued so they don't rotate at all. Even that's f****ng hard to stay on.

I couldn't even do the one where you walk along a spinning pole.

Odd to do that in a car. But makes sense on a heavy motorcycle if you want to alter your centre of gravity.

Or driving a lorry. I've seen a lot that don't and bash the tyres on a roundabout.

Kerb.

Even when IIII is between III and V (with no IV)?

And for some reason, that reminds me of chemotherapy.

I think they were supposed to have done so, a lot.

I once saw a wristwatch that had only ONE mark (for 12).

I remember one computerized machine I have used at work, where if you try to delete you get one of those "are you sure" messages written as:

ENTER TO DELETE

Google images has countless examples of watches with no numbers at all. Most people wouldn't really miss them.

I had a colleague who would answer most emails with simply Y or N.

So you had to look at 3 numbers instead of 1.

IV as in drip?

I've never considered that a skill, it's just like pushing a supermarket trolley.

If you're trying to think about it, you're doing it wrong. It needs to come naturally. Just think about your end of the trailer (the end attached to the car) and where that has to go. Same as if you were pushing it by hand, you'd shove it to the right or left to make it go where you needed it to.

Now that I don't understand. I don't rely on self centering (how do you spell that in British English? We say centre, but centreing doesn't look right), but adjust subconsciously with the steering wheel. I can reverse as fast as the car will go. I had a VW Golf that would go 40mph backwards - auto gearbox, reverse was about the same as 2nd in a manual. That was fun, especially with a passenger who was grabbing anything possible. And then there was the J turn.... maybe I should have warned them I was going to do it?

I sometimes do, I sometimes don't, it depends on what I'm checking for. Of course if it's a van, you can't look over your shoulder.

I think that would confuse me. If I'm sat right next to the actual rudder, I'd expect it to be linked in a straightforward mechanical fashion.

If you have to remember a technique, you're f***ed.

That's a 125cc off road only bike aimed at kids and it still weighs in a

199 pounds. My 650 is close to 400 wet and with tools etc.

You have to go to a trials bike to get under 150 pounds.

Just don't plan to sit; they're not big on creature comforts.

When will governments realise that cars with lower bases are more aerodynamic and save fuel, and they need to remove the criminally damaging speedbumps?

I wasn't discussing war.

Since 50% are each of the things I stated, I stand by my assertion.

Let me rephrase that. You have a built in clock that's actually remotely accurate?! If I wake up in the morning and without looking at a clock wonder what time it is, I'll be a couple of hours out. A timepiece with that lack of accuracy would be sent back under warranty.

I thought you turn the handlebars and lean to keep from going over the handlebars - - -
