And our roads are in really poor condition.
lol, just a light-hearted comment - its a long story, goes back to the wars between Mods and Rockers in UK in 60's! And trying to lean a scooter fast round a bend once and catching the running board and flying in three somersaults into the bushes many years ago! I secretly wanted a scooter because in those days they were then all blinged up with chrome and lots of extra mirrors and flags.
