If i'd been drinking coffee when I read that I would have laughed it all over the keyboard :-D

One of the guys I sometimes ride with worked for a rail company as 'Head of Safety' or something similar: 'been up to much recently Steve?', 'well, last weekend I had to work. We closed down 20 miles of track, greased the rails, and tried to find out how far we could slide a loco going at 100mph'....

...I wish I had that much fun at work :-D
It's all about the bike.
