[Spridgets] Had to share

[Jim Johnson]

Alan,

There sure were plenty of tailgaters in the UK back in the late 60s!  A mate
of mine from Wokingham who owned a Norton is the one who taught me the
technique. Used it to good effect once on the A40 near Beaconsfield...
Bloke in a 105E Anglia had a most surprised look on his face....  ;-)

Cheers!!
Jim
