Why I Ride

Speed, acceleration!
How your body becomes part of the bike, how you move affects how it moves.

Bikeography

I got my first bike, an 80cc yamaha at 17. Next came a 250cc 3cylinder Kawasaki (blew the gearbox), followed by two CB750 Hondas, a Suzuki GT550 (wrapped round a tree), Honda VF750 (broken conrod), Kawasaki GPZ750.
Longest time without a bike since 17 - 6 months

I'm growing old disgracefully by

Making the most out of life
Like the song says
"Live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead."
