when my dad took his motorbike test many years ago
the instructor said that he would step out into the street to test the emergency stop.

my dad kept riding around the circuit and never saw him.

eventually it turned out he'd stepped out in front of the wrong bike and been carted off with a broken leg.

hmmmmmmmmmm. reading this back now, it strikes me that i might have swallowed an urban myth here. oh well. typed it now.

The Urban Myth
...raises it's head again!!

Though I have no doubt that it must have happened to someone, somewhere. It could well have been one of your Dads*, so I shall not disbelieve either of you.

*Can someone point me in the right direction of the correct grammar for this sentence?
