    I meant the one where you were in the ditch. You already posted that one monkey.

    Can I see mine too?? First action shot of the bike.

    Allun: yeah you thought it reeeaaal funny to mock my "acceleration". Not kidding folks (yeah I also know my bike at the quickest around) but I was accelerating hard, cranking it past 11 on every shift. He starts to pull past, then drops back. I think WTF, he pulls along side (me is still accelerating hard btw), looks at me, then races off Just for kicks he did it on the motorway as well... but I waved to him when I passed him

    Very good ride... and as for the turn not made, its not my fault I had no idea of the route after Clevedon. Its Slashwylde's fault... I was following him

    I also believe Draco had a good laugh when I managed to pass her along a straight

    Doesn't matter, my very first action photo and the star on the headlight is a nice touch...

    The funniest part is that I had no idea you were there... I knew you were somewhere...

    I can see what people were talking about when they said I make the bike look like a scooter though. Kinda like the black look as well.

    Need to get yourself a nice cruiser mate. 800 or higher, then you wont have that problem. And don't even say they don't handle very well.

    OK, they don't look very good... And they don't accelerate as well (when compared to "proper" sprotsbikes ). And their top speed isn't as high. And they don't have the 'dangerous' look about them (you know, the one that makes cops follow them just because... )

    Nah, as much as you like cruisers, they don't do anything for me. But sprotsbikes are just... well as someone said... sex on wheels.

    Heh Cops leave cruisers alone cause of all the patched riders out there, if that doesn't give a dangerous look I don't know what does. Get a good cruiser and it goes just as hard as a sprotsbike.
    And get the right one and you might actually stand a chance of having sex on your wheels. On a sprotsbike the tank just isn't comfortable to lean back on.

    err... you tried to convince me, but I still want a sprotsbike.

    As for sex on wheels, at the moment there isn't a "other". And I don't care about the comfort of the tank, thats her problem. And she would mess up the handling of the bike (not just on the slow straights either - won't explain as to why the straights might be slow )
