    Like all of my contemporaries I was fookin' dangerous on a bike, the body was willing but the head was utterly clueless. The repeted application of varying quantities of pain helped, and at some point I came to be as good as I was ever going to be.

    Comes a time when experience isn't enough to offset the loss of the formidible power of youth, it's a far more usefull tool though, experience, so I think you're entitled to get yer leg over a few more times yet eh John?

    I remember a time when I knew more about riding than I do now. Indeed, I remember the time when I knew everything there ws to know.

    Experience cannot for ever offset the ravages of age. But then, biking keeps at bay those ravages. The Gods do not deduct from the span of years of men, the time spent riding.

    Probably not a bad scheme. We're really only good for two things, they both take a bit of effort but neither of them take very long...

    Ditto. I rode a Z1000 fell into an oncoming truck, skipped a generation.... leapt out of the zimmer frame onto a TL1000 to find I was just as crap a rider as in my last lifetime. Really shook my trust in reincarnation I tell you.
    Are scientologists allowed to ride motorcycles or only spacecraft?
