I remember that feeling, it's a strong one isn't it? (sighs)

Not so easy these days, and I hear = "Oh look! it's an old tart!"

Sod what people think about how you dress or look. what gives them the right to judge. sorry im me what you see is what you get, if you dont like thats ok its not my problem to worry about.

i ride a bike i feel best dressed in jeans, t-shirt and trainers or leathers and boots

[Boadacia]

I agree! I meant holding them up isn't as easy.

If only I had room for a decent sized shed here in this chicken pen of a house. I think I could still manage my old/(new) Honda 400x4.

Good girl!

I don't ride these days because I was constantly pushing at the boudaries of how fast CBR900RRX FireBlade can be put through the twisties and, as much fun as it was, I knew if I continued to ride then it would only be a matter of time before soft, squishy human flesh hit hard, unrelenting dry-stone wall at high speed.

They were some of the best times I've ever had and I have no regrets. I guess you could say that I quid while I was ahead.

Thank you Lee, I love it too,
Many thank's for my parcel, I'l knock up some custard Mix today. it smell's lovely in the bottle,
I do have some other strokers from the 80's too, and a 1956 TV175 Lambretta, but its all too much to maintain with all the other things we seem to have to do in life.

The only pic of my RG500 I have on pc, The thing is with an RG500, it was the fastest two stoke evermade in its time, its completly manic and I am not comfy riding it as it has that 16" front wheel too, It scares the living daylights out of me, so i just dont ride it, I met a chap once, he was standing beside an RG500, I stopped to talk to him, he said he had been racing bikes all his life and he had just stopped due to having a tank slapper on this RG500 and he had never been so frightened in all his life, he had a beard, it was Stan Stevens the racing two stroke man from brands Hatch!!

Nice bikes Grant, wish i could have kept some of my earlier ones.

my first try on a bike was with a Yz80 little wheel.

then a RD200 twin
dt175
kx 100
kmx125
dt125
cr250 factory works

then in 2004/5 i went onroad with a pug speedflight 2 scooter, two weeks after i chopped out the exhaust, replaced roller to lighter ones, had the piston and bottom end changed out and a new carb, went from 30mph upto 70mph. used to razzle the bikes around the farmers fields, was good fun kept most of us lads off the streets.

no fancy stickers etc etc, standard look but went like a rocket for a 50cc liquid cooled machine. was fun until i was side swiped by a female Bmw driver. gave up bikes when the hard times came and before i killed myself.
