hmm..some good answers there but, putting it another way, what are your greatest anxieties about being a motorcyclist? my current one is letting my guard drop, i try to be alert and spot things ahead but then my attention goes and i'm on 'autopilot', in a kind of day dream induced by the exhaust not...

think i'd stick with two bikes myself.

if you were advising your formerself who was about to start out as a biker about the dangers of being a motorcyclist then what tips would you give your younger self? In my case I think I woul;d say something about not trusting car drivers to stay put as I got injured by a bloke who turned right acro...

Norton had two top-10 finishers in the Superbike and Senior TT races for 2017 i think. might be a good move for McGuinness. Serves Honda right for testing their latest' clever' clutch/gearboxes on top riders.

i'd have a good think about letting a bike go, is taking it off the road for a year any good? Once a bike is prematurely sold there tends to be a financial loss because you haven't had the expected use/mileage. If, later you were to think to replace it than there's that extra cost of getting a 'new'...

delusions of grandure i'm afraid

did you know that Chris Eubank paid £45,000 back in 1996 for the title Lord of the Manor of Brighton.

went out with the intention of a new years eve ride, one bike wouldn't start and the other had bulbs gone - they don't like being left unused for too long.

combination - sidecar - outfit ie: three wheels

yes of course, and secretly i would like a combo

yes but you can lean three wheels, seems to miss the point of having a bike.

well that was two years ago and it was pretty crowded, seems like the place has been 'discovered' - pretty place and nice beach.

sir thomas blanchard :( here, thought i'd start a slot for myself as i often don't quite know where to post things, :| I'll kick off with an old photo I found of my bike at lyme regis, the red one next to that huge jap/american style thingy. https://i.imgur.com/6FJUecb.jpg reminds me of happier days...

note: second image follows on from first - part of a story i illustrated for somebody else

Woke up, farted, ate bacon and sausage rolls, farted, built a Lego model with the boy, farted, washed the car, farted lots as outside, went to see the brother-in-law, stopped farting as it apparently polite. Left and farted.. Now back home with a glass of wine... Proper boxing day.. just so long as...

i quite like xmas but i'm not that keen on new year, for one thing i have to stay up with the dog who doesn't care for fireworks.

two of my friends are single, i feel for them over xmas/new year - when i ask if they are ok they just say it's like any other day but i think that's a brave front, you must remember past times/family etc especially with the relentless stuff that the media blasts out, all the hype, one thing after a...

Decided to go horse riding ... Something I haven't done in many years It turned out to be a big mistake got on the horse and started out slowly, before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. I couldn't hang on and I fell off, I caught my foot in the stirrup and the horse just wouldn...

thank you for having me on the site and being so nice, much appreciated

apparently it's illegal to ride around in a car with a light out and you can be done for that so i guess that's there way of avopiding being stopped, screw everybody else - nice!

roue ? - degenerate more like it's a kind of puzzlelment that i detect - why would that old bloke risk his life like he does? then there is one particular couple nearby who i am sure regard me as a weirdo for not conforming to the competive norm of replacing the car every 3 yrs with an even flashier...
