Well, I've been ridin since i was 15 although I did have a squirt on my brothers
Suzuki Maverick (50cc) before that but it don't really count cause it was only up the driveway and parking it in the back shed. Mind you, it was at full throttle , in first gear and I only stopped cause the sheds back wall was really strong. Didn't do any damage but he did make me wheel it to the garage where I was supposed to be puttin it. Only missed by 20ft. Pretty good for a first go I reckon!
I've had a few bikes over the years. I'll see how many I can remember....
1. Yamaha 50 steppy
2. Kawasaki 100 dual ratio trail
3. Suzuki T350J (First ton on this one)
4. Honda 350 twin
5. Yamaha YZ 360
6. Honda 250 trail
7. Yamaha 1100 Virago
8. Suzuki VL1500 Intruder
9. Suzuki VX800
10. Harley Davidson 1340 softail
11. Triumph Sprint 900. ( current )
Not a bad variety I spose...bout 3 years a bike.
Worst bike - 8. Suzuki VL1500 Intruder. What an absolute PIG! Mind you, it did win me concourse De Elegance at the Brass Monkey. Bloody horrible to ride though.
Best bike - All the others. They all have a story and are part of my happy life.
Fastest bike...pick up - easily the YZ 360. Top Speed - Triumph 900
Accidents - Layed No 1 down to avoid a side impact on a car full of Mongrel Mob in the square. Figured I might as well beat myself up rather than let them do it for hittin their car...LMAO...No drama though and picked up and rode away. Also went up the arse end of a car in wellington on this bike.
That's about it really. Must have learnt that bike crashes hurt so decided to become a good rider instead...LOL Oh, I also found out that a Nitto tyre ain't as good as a Conti on the corners in the wet on the T350J. Oh..also hit a pedestrian on this one...LMAO WHAM! SPLAT...I was ok but he ended up in ER. Don't look right when someone foams from the mouth huh!
mmmmm fell asleep on this one too...twice...different occasions. Doin 48hour rides for the fun of it...LOL Oh, also got run off the road by a black Chev impalla...that one did some damage...to the bike, not me.
Yup, that's it...I think...cept for a few dumb arse things that weren't really accidents.
To be cont..............
