Welcome to Friday Fudge. If it’s weird, funny, or strange motorcycle news, or it just plain won’t fit anywhere else on the site – you’ll find it here.
P.S. Zac has been away in Cuba for the week, so Editor ‘Arris has put this Fudge together. Apologies for the short cutting to video but he claims he’s very, very busy.

Bad Parenting: Welcome to Japan! It’s bad enough that the kid fell off the back, but the rider was absolutely oblivious to the fact. Scary to think that happened about 20 km from where I live.
Re.: TT Legends. “Porridge”? That brought back many awful memories. Brown sugar or honey could not cure that fiasco. Repressed up-bringing was re-newed with that vid. Thanks. Where is my gun, and one bullet?
Gun and one bullet express mailed just now. Should be with you by the morning!
