Cheers.

My bike will be put up for sale this weekend but I will keep my riding gear for possible motard and bucket racing...

I want to keep this brief, so I will just say - cheers for some wicked rides and good times. If I do get into racing, I expect to see you guys there picking me and my bike up off the track!

One last thing: stay alert folks, there are more cops turned-revenue-hunters out there now than ever, and they are all looking for YOUR blood. There are few "times and places" now to have a little fun on your bike.

Laters

I know what you mean! went past one the other day and he trned his lights on and tried to follow. dont know whats so bad about doing 250kph wheelstands!!!

On teh upside, you can now buy a van and a track bike and go have some real fun

Viva la Hornet! Brava, brava ...

The Hornet flies through the twisties,
buzzing through the traffic,
Sleek and black, twin can rumbles -
gone, but not forgotten,
Lone rider on two legs ...
Stops and listens,
Bikes roar and leathers flash past
A rueful smile -
a slight twitch of the wrist,
Oh yes, his day will come.

Sup dude, if I were you I'd learn the finer art of throttle control. But I am not you, and if doing 100 on the straights is hard for you then I totally vouch for track days. They as you well know satisfy the 'urge' like nothing else. Either way bro I will c u when I get back from India in 4 weeks. Take it eazee.

Hmmm, some people on this thread would also piss on a live electric fence more than once too....

Some of us learn a bit quicker than others so it seems.
