Some of you may know that I used to be a very keen motorcyclist - effing fanatic more like. Even spent some time (2 years) as a despatch rider in London.
Today a friend lent me his FZ750. It was the first time I'd been on a bike in 15 years :shock:
I want one so bad it hurts.
I'm not speaking to him at the moment :taz:
At least he said I can borrow it whenever I like - do you think all day, every day would be a little too much?

As you're not talking to him..... would he lend it to me do you think? :grin:

Sounds like you've already made your mind up mate!
Why the wait, check out this beautiful weather we're having! Go out an buy one!
If you're an ex dispatch rider im sure you know the importance of good protective gear, i doubt a refresher course would do you any harm either.
Whatever you do, ride safe

:shock:

it was a common problem with the 916, a few of us owned them at the time and we all had the same problems,
but you still cannot beat it on the road, just for the beatifull music it makes, and it's sheer presence on the road.....oh and it went like sh1t off a shovel, and no it was not red....yellow was the colour to have, with the matching leathers.

Probably the shower, having spent the best part of the last 20 yrs in the saddle as it were, I know how sweaty those leathers can get.

Well now Vix, if there was an offer of a helping hand to unzip the leathers and scrub those oh-so-hard-to-reach-yourself spots I'd be very tempted..???
Mind you, it might end up with getting sweaty all over again. But a risk I'd be happy to take... :twisted:
