Yet you ride around town on a motorised two wheeled vehicle with only a piece of polyester to protect your brain from departing your skull. Some (not me) would call that daft too...

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

In my case, when it comes to choices, I have no other choice to get from A to B every day without walking many, many miles!

Jumping out of an aeroplane would come way down on my list of choices.

That contraption is called a trike or three wheeled car here in the Netherlands (and I believe in the rest of Europe too). No bike licence needed, so no motorbike. Seatbelt and crash helmet are mandatory though.

I still can't get this CBS newspage to open.
