I didnt use the word coward mate you did.......if your going to kill someone in revenge getting called a coward is the least of your worries....dead is dead and all that.....im merely saying that yes it does take more bottle to attack somebody up close with a knife than it does to shoot them from a safe distance.......bit of a bizarre conversation this innit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite true ... it is the right side but roads in this country camber to the left ... the reason the right side wears first is due to roundabouts ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both are true actually. The fact the road cambers to the left means the tyre is actually leaning slightly to the right all the time in relation to the road surface, as the road on the right hand side of the tyre is slightly higher than the left. That still doesn't explain how kings mate apparently rides without leaning 1 degree off vertical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
