CAPTAIN FINGERBANG

 
Short stories of affairs of the heart (and Bantam ownership) by Dave Bevan.
 
......"my transport is an old motorcycle
beyond archaic
not to mention legality
which has worse brakes than either of the push bikes
and is only marginally quicker
and also sheds parts,
shakes them loose
some kamikaze mission of self destruction
which is perhaps down to the weight of years bearing down upon
or a very tangible indictment of a British motorcycle industry
which shook itself out of existence years previous ?
but i refuse to let it kill itself
with my impatient hands
and half-wits skill
i can just about keep that knackered mare on the road,
if not quite legal.
 
One of these days
one of these things will most likely kill
and/or maim me
and the few folks who know and/or care
will shake their heads, saying
well, you know, he had it coming....
and they'll be right
and they'll be missing the point
entirely."
 
Buy it for someone you love this Christmas. Catch Dave at Happy Going Nowhere
