a double handful and the bike stops dead, I mean in about 30cms. I'm

They had put a beautiful u shaped drainage gulley between the road and
the grass level with the pavement. It's amazing quite how far a Bullit
will slide on its side panels.

Ouch. I take it the box took all the damage?

Side panel and that was about it. End of the pedal was a bit scraped but
they do slide in a fairly non self destructing fashion. A normal bike
would have flipped bounced and ****ed up all kinds of ****.

Oh also if you unfortunately get the front sandwiched between a Mercedes
Vito side panel and a Renault Clio front wing the frame is actually
entertainingly stronger than either.

ROFLMAO! I do believe I've just wet myself :-)

We need more details...
