Having attended a number of the ASCAR races at Rockingham this years, I've
got quite used to seeing plod on traillies. Indeed at the last race I went
to, there were two plod trailies being ridden over the 4x4 experience track.
I assume that these bikes are more useful than Pans when chasing villains
riding off-road.

ISTR mention of a janitor of our acquaintance endeavouring to take-on
a crim on a chook-chaser -- and forgetting the low coefficient of friction
of Pan tyres off-road...
