Crashed it often, didn't wear proper protective gear other than a helmet. Favourite trick was disconecting engine via a switch between feet at 30-40mph, switching off engine and lights and rolling last couple of hundred yards in darkness to the halls of residence. Scared the bejeezus out of my fellow students, glory days, to be 18 and stupid again
Should have got an AP! Far more chance of killing yourself. It had a pedal you pulled out and swung round if you needed it to get away with regs. Once rode it home from Melton Mowbray to near Leicester with no exhaust! The locking ring had sheared off. Haring through villages like a 4 into 1 GS1000 or so I thought
