Street Hawk brought down.

I saw the boss limping around yesterday; he looked a bit sore after falling off his motorbike. Apparently he hit some ice, skidded and then he fell off – technically speaking he didn’t actually fall off as he was still attached to the bike as it slid along the ground. Ouchers! He seems reasonably ok (although I think he's actually more hurt than he's letting on) and I’m told that the bike aka ‘Steet Hawk’ survived – all good news.

Why do I call Ian’s bike Street Hawk?

Well for those too young to remember the 1980’s TV series Steet Hawk –



“This is Jesse Mach (Read: Ian Brown) , an ex-motorcycle cop, injured in the line of duty. Now a police troubleshooter, he's been recruited for a top secret government mission to ride Street Hawk--an all-terrain attack motorcycle designed to fight urban crime, capable of incredible speeds up to three hundred miles an hour...and immense firepower. The Man...The Machine...Street Hawk.”

It might look like a Pizza Delivery bike - but its' so much more - an all-terrain Coastguard Rescue Motorcycle ...capable of incredible speeds upto 62mph (Subject to statutory speed limits)
