    Had a bloke on a course yesterday. He was there as the local popo had caught him doing something naughty, and if he did a course they'd let him off the ticket.

    Anyway, he had had his 6R for 8 months after 6 months on his 6L.

    His first bike had been a Fireblade. His second and current bike is an R1.

    He's had 3 bins, each one the fault of the road, or someone else.

    I reckon a 600 lams is a great start, followed by a middle weight. Before the Fireblade or R1.

    Just sayin. I still like middleweights.

    Gotta have the Cubes mate ! I just love the roll on strength of a big bike. No difference to the car world where people buy Lambos or Ferraris I suppose?
    But yes,full power 600s are far too much for lot of people as well?

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
