Written as well as performed by Miss Ripley ( aka Twinkle ) ........ and promptly banned by the BBC and ITV ........ They assumed Terry`s demise was self inflicted , therefore the song was in extremely bad taste ............... Naturally it became a huge chart hit .................. Just be careful when accelerating your motorbike , ok ? .............. Although I remember a SF ( or maybe GTL ) rider claiming in Motorcycle Sport magazine , that ........" Laverdas don`t accelerate , they gather speed ... " , so maybe no need to worry after all ........
.... Although the best thing he could have done to improve the performance of his Laverda ( any Laverda ) , is to fit one of those Tomaselli quick action throttles , I reckon ....... although was there something then about the carb slides not fully opening if you fitted one , or maybe not ..............
