Stamping your foot like you’re hitting the kickstarter is considered a must if you really let rip, they added.

The question arose after Princess Michael of Kent let go a real belter at a state banquet last week and defused the situation by immediately pretending to ride an invisible Kawasaki.

The Harley rumble is much more satisfying.

Ride on!

Nothing quite like dropping a depth charge that empties the bath!
