BMW K750 - getting older, ride to "proper" job on "proper" bike!
Triumph Trident 900 - I'm still in love with this, should never have sold it. Hooligan fun on country roads. Wore the footpegs to stumps on a track day at Brands Hatch racetrack, tyres went blue round the edges from the heat!!
BMW F650 trailie - great town bike.
And I have just sold my BMW R1100R, due to my emigration, so who knows what comes next? Probably a Porsche
I used to go to "race schools", where professional racers would show you the ropes on mildly race prepped 400/600s, and track days where a club would hire a track for a few hours.
Fav moments: Donington raceway, Yamaha 600, main straight, flat out (145mph), hit bump, front wheel rises slightly and head starts to shake in tankslapper. Adrenaline fear rush beyond any drug.
M1 motorway near London, Triumph flat out showing 135mph - bike has no fairing, my helmet was being ripped from my head by the wind blast.
Wheelieing past a BMW convertible of gorgeous girls encouraging me at three in the morning to do things I would never usually do. Safe rider, me, mate.
Too many others to mention!!
Least favourite moments - theft of LC125, thought my world was going to end.
Two major "incidents" involving ambulance trips to hospital for "repairs", both whilst I was working as a courier. Once, I thought I was dead.
Biking/motorcycling - love it more than almost anything else.
Anyone wanna round of Moto GP2?
