Ah, I was wondering already when that would come up. Seems MB have bitten
off more than they can chew this time, telling people that a small, narrow
car with a high centre of gravity behaves just like a large, wide car...
ain't no ESP or different tyres gonna fix a gravity problem. And it's gonna
cost MB DM 100 million/annum to find this out.

It's become a joke already here. We call it the Aaaaaaaah-Class. The one
with scratches on the roof...

PS Scary wildlife encounter? My first motorbike ride, 450cc Kawa, almost
ended in serious trouble, when on an unlit road in the middle of the night
in St. Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles I met two wild donkeys, standing in
the middle of the road. I was _very_ glad I'd been practicing emergency
stops, as helmets or protective gear are not part of the Antillean
motorbike scene.
