Had this conversation at work today.
Years ago i lived in smalltown hicksville and the nearest petshop was 12 miles away. My mate knew i was going into Sunderland on Saturday and asked me to buy a tortoise for his kid bro for his birthday.
I bought a tortoise but had gone on the bike. Hmmm! Hard work strapping a tortoise on the back seat of a Suzuki GS1000 but managed. It came back home at 130mph. Reckoned it was legal as it had it's own helmet.
Mates kid bro was most miffed as tortoise didn't emerge from its shell for 2 days. Obviously it had taste and didn't like Jap bikes.
