My father lost a leg riding a motorcycle in 1927,it was a racing bike that he was tuning and running on the road when the throttle stuck open.
He was taken to hospital on a 5 bar gate strapped to the roof of a car!
He forbade me to have a motorbike,but I saved up my pocket money and bought an ancient one anyway, as soon as I was 17 I got an old car.
