Very good, definitely can relate to some of the things said. I remember when i was younger maybe 9/10 years old. I got my first motocross bike. I used to get so excited when i knew the weekend was coming and id get to go ride it again lol

 

I will be definitely getting my kids a bike from an early age... If i have any

Love it, always have. Bikes are massively life affirming and people who don't ride (or are too scared to) will never ever get it. Cars are functional modes of transport to me. A necessary, albeit soulless evil, I have a car but though it moves me from A to B, it never raises a smile. I never get off my bike without a huge grin on my face.

Great clip-bin riding for 34 years but its getting harder, bikes are so quick now but my reactions are not-I have spoken to the other half and she is in no doubt that if I meet my maker whilst on 2 wheels then I would not feel cheated. As age has crept up I have promised myself with each new bike (2 years average) that I would get something more sedate and suitable and with this in mind I sold the Fireblade and bought a ZZR1100 (whoops) then a GSXR1100 (whoops) then an R1 (whoops)-reality dawned (not) and I bought an FZR1000 exup which I kept for a few months before buying my GSXR1000 (oh poo-I give up!). So now I am in a position where I scare myself witless every time I throw a leg over it and my lad has to punch my back to relax the muscles after every ride-but would I consider quitting? NO WAY -I'm looking for a Blackbird or a Guzzi LeMans mk2 next :yes::good:

I`ve had bikes for the last 12yrs, everything from cbr600`s to GSXR 1000`s (over 8 bikes in my time) with my last being a late reg GSXR750 K8 I bought new in 2010. I sold it earlier this year due to me never getting the time to ride anymore going from 6000miles to 200miles a year. It was selling it that made me look at other outlets and led me to take up clay pigeon shooting but my kids can get involved as well to the point my son now has 1st gun as well ! I do miss it and its only a temporary retirement untill my kids are a bit older. A quick pic of what was my pride and joy, not a lot of it was left standard !!
