used to race in production supersports, think old gsr1100 etc, had a humongus shunt, think 6 monthe in traction, having to learn to walk again, so stopped racing had some road bikes after, last was an r1.
new bikes have got stupid quick tho,mate has a new ducati, not sure what one, but it makes more power than my old racebike that had a 20k engine back in the 90s, plus way to many idiots on the road for it to be safe, the otherday i saw a young girl driving along with her phone on the screen right in front of her as she tx or something, she was oblivious to anything else, so ive hung up my boots, shame tho i do miss it |

"Recently sold my VFR800 as I needed a car.
My boots in the hall and helmet on the top of my wardrobe keep reminding me I need another bike though. Looking at a Triumph Speed Triple, so who knows  "
Really miss my VFR (pre-vtec) - best bike I ever owned or rode. I’ve looked at new bikes but they just don’t grab me the way the veefer did - may have to invest in an old one.

"I Lost a friend 6 weeks ago from a bike crash. Got rear ended by a bus.
I know you like it but stay safe

Sorry to hear this 
A girl at work partner, had a bad crash and he’s now unable to work and needs constant care, he’s 26.
I doubt there’s a biker out on the road, who doesn’t know someone who’s been affected by an accident fatal or life changing.
So unfortunately it is something to consider especially as currently I’m seeing loads of bikers riding in T-shirts and shorts.

Mine was a Vtec - at 6000rpm it would open up brilliantly. Tour on it, go for a blast or commute, loved it  |

I think it's something we all share and a risk we all take on when we jump on two wheels.
My uncle used to race them but he died before I was born. My folks never wanted me to get a bike but it's been in my blood since I was a kid.
Stay careful everyone and keep it runner side down |

Bit bland and boring - maybe like me - BMW R1200R - 57 plate
Nice to ride around the Derbyshire B roads - but I am spending more time on my Boardman pedal bike trying to keep the fat at bay  |

"Wow steph i bet you looked sexy as hell on your bike. xxx"
Met loads of Tgirl bikers throughout the years (yes quite a few of us like something powerful between our legs  ) but not one, including me, would ever ride dressed with makeup on.
Sorry to ruin the illusion but I always looked just like every other guy on a motorbike. |
