    If I dipped my boots in the Med it would be classified as the start of an environmental disaster - wiping out marine life for miles around!

    Indeed, I believe Novichok is based on the festering odours eminating from my mangy boots...

    Be cautious at all times, attend and part take advanced rider course - focusing on cornering, order some custom parts for the Bonneville, get new kit that’s more comfortable but still protective. Pay forward old kit to less fortunate.
