[Trevor Legate]

Good to hear from you Erland. I guess a goodly number of folk here have done the 'young & foolish' thing at some point otherwise we wouldn't be haunting these webbysites, so no need to feel like an outcast! I did the 'max' investigation one night on a rally when my navigator suggested I keep pace with a car that had a good 50mph+ on my humble ride. Of course I obeyed and as the rev counter and speedo went around the dials for the second time, the crank naturally bust in two. Happy days....and I'm still here so it must have been safe ;-)
