I know I will have those who do not think I should be a rider at all sniggering at that, but I know myself best, and I know now that life is way too short to give a toss about their opinions of what is best for me. I know what is best for me, for my freedom, for my happiness, for my confidence... And it involves a 2008 R6 on the road, with the biggest smile on my face I have ever known.

Seeing your smile so many times, how on earth are you going get a bigger one...???

Is the Piecycle getting a custom paint job?

Ah i do wish indeed. But am just matching those bits to the original fearings and getting ride of any red on it. So it will just down to pearl white and black. Further down the line I will get it custom painted with a blue fleck through the pearl white. But funds are bloody tight, and I am still pplaying catch up with expenses from loosing my job, and the medical costs. This will just tidy it up for me to feel ok about getting back on her. Cheap parts, all after market. Nothing flash, just tidy and ready to ride. The bling will come later on when I have a stable income again, and no more doctors visits

I think you have done the breaking thing quite enough.

A very short update...

the day has arrived my friends. The day you have all helped me to reach. The bike is finished and today I ride for my first time.

Photos and updates later, in a full blog. I couldn't be more excited, nervous, wired, the works. !!!

Today I become a biker again. From biker to broken, from broken to biker.
