Because of my head injury (and some previous ones) I decided to sell my my car / van on the well known auction site.
As you would expect I gave a full description of the vehicle and the reasons why I am selling it. Noting that it has been registered as a disabled vehicle This morning I received an email asking if I would be interested in a part exchange swap his vehicle for mine - a road legal racing track motorbike!! 1,000 cc and a 0-60 speed faster than I can think  Took a few email exchanges for the penny to drop with him - bless

I know I am still smiling at the thought of trying to ride a motorbike let alone a high speed one - when I can hardly keep my balance on my own two feet

I know what you mean - you have to enjoy the lighter moments.
Its llike when the wife sent me to the local shop for three items http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...highlight=milk we still laugh at that now - mind you my wife has her daily dose of giggles as she watches me with my balancing problems try and get my underwere on with a one legged dance
