If, you had an automatic 100cc Quad that had its throttle stuck open and you hit the start switch while standing next to the bike and not really holding on?

I am glad you aren't here at the moment as the Quad has a fuel leak. We both know your reputation.

It would appear to steer a little straighter.
So there's that.....

If you had been on it you could have been tipped off the back of it or flung into trees on impact.

If I had been on it, I would have been able to hit the brakes or kill the ignition. Plus, my ten stone frame would have provided a little ballast

Ten stone frame. That's just the frame then, not cladding.

My cladding is of course lovely, a bit hairy in places but still lovely.
