    After I make my millions I'll run my MV Agusta F4 1000 Veltro with synthetic petrol and pollute everything while electric floating bikes run wild. Lol.

    Of course, all the younger folk are assuming that motorcycles will still be legal by the time they reach 60. I wouldn't care to put money on that for anyone under 40.

    The current generation never does. But will you still be as blithe when it is your 15 year old kid wanting a motorbike?

    I've got no idea what bike I'll get next,there is seldom any planning...someone usually offers me a bike and I grab it.Eight years to go for me - like Ixion I'll probably spear off on some tangent....bikes are a passion,there is no logic involved.

    I think terbang means he cant PILOT international flights any more. He can still be a passenger. I tried to figure out what his name meant one day but all I could get out of google was a bunch of stuff to do with indonesian aviation industries so Its a safe bet hes a pilot.

    Hopefully a 20 yr old blonde with big tits and a voracious appetite for my saggy old nuts.

    And a motorcycle.

    If the plans work out, and my wife still gets on the back, it'll be a tourer and something fun like a Speed Triple, Superduke or whatever is hot.
    The again, it could be a mobility scooter. But I'll get the local sparky to make it a bloody quick one.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
