Don't like race bikes, like a 'sit up and beg style' with a full fairing, and I don't care what you say...... ;D ;D :P :P


Apparently you do this alot  ::) :P :D ;D

I was thinking bikes, do you ever have what I called my 'oh break moments' not necessarily going fast but come to a corner and things don't go as planned, for many reasons, and find yourself saying ' oh break of break' as you go through it.........
 ;D ;D ;D

No but I have near on soiled myself a few times  ;D ;D ;D

I was braking for this tight corner going home from Matlock years ago on my "Elsie" when my mate on a VF400 came passed, his brakelight came on, smoke off his rear tyre then he entered the hedge quiet quick. I laughed so much I near on followed him. I got off my bike and went over to him, i said, " You Ok Craig?" ..... "Yeah, did you see that rabbit?".   rather rabbit  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Best of it was when we got back his house, he was pulling bits of hedge out of his Bike, when his mum asked what was wrong. So he gave her the story about the rabbit... she said " Did you miss it?"  ;D ;D   ffs ;D
His mum gave me my nick name, which is now my forum name :y
