So the next question is ...

I am only young (mid thirties) so have plenty of time really, so I can make sure that I get it right when I do it.

As for my bike test, this is proving difficult. Carol thinks that I need to work my skills on a 125 for a little while because I lost my confidence when I had my accident. So we went and had a look at a friends 125 that I could have used if we could fix it. It was a rusting wreck, non runner with so much wrong and all due to neglect. So we are are back where we started. I have a gorgeous SV I can't ride and a wild urge to get out there and play.

Is it really so wrong to ride a big bike with no insurance, license or skill? :(

I just want to play and ride my bike...
I also need a job so I can pay for more lessons, pay for a 125 and pay for insurance. Anyone know of any jobs going?

[Lozzo]

- Ride an RC30. They say you should never meet your idols...


In this case they are wrong - probably one of the best bikes I have ever had the pleasure of riding. Having said that, 2 weeks later I rode a Honda NR750 and was very disappointed; it didn't feel much different to the VFR750FK I'd owned until 6 months prior to taking the RC30 out.

[Iansv II]

1. Wake up (done)
2. Get to work (done)
3. Have lunch (done)
4. Ride home (should be done later)
5. Go to bed (should be done later)

[Flamin_Squirrel]

1. Wake up (done)

Always refreshing to see such ambition. Good good:D

Your supposed to say "Your right matt, don;t get one, save your money and spend it on something more modern and better, RC30's were good but now cack"

I have this lovely dream of finding an RC30 owned by someone who cannot afford to take care of it, and can't do the work themselves, and I buy the bike and rescue it and get it back on the roa din perfect working order

Tis the # 1 most important thing to do before you die.




Being an old geezer I've done most of the rest I wanted to do.
I've always been blessed with many, many different adventures.
Experianced a lot of things in a lot of places.
Way too much to talk about.


Still a few I have left to do....

1. Ride the Alps (on a sport bike)

2. Get a Gold Wing....
And that new for 08, voice activated GPS looks mighty tempting.

Whilst 1) is impossible, the rest is achievable with a bit of brass.


Start with a visit to thunder city where they are still flying lightnings.
(http://www.incredible-adventures.com/capetown_thunder_city.html)
I used to regularly work behind Warton when they would take off on test flights. I think they used to try to start lifting the undercarriage before it had left the ground. I heard on story, most likely an urban legend that at the point when a pilot decided to turn vertical and hit the afterburners his tail hit the ground.

When they cleared the fence full blast, it was a wondrous sight and sound.

[keithd]

9) get more than one member (fnarr) inducted to my cult

We have a few in my garden. Whilst Jasper wants to eat them, we leave out saucers of milk with a bit of bread, when the security lights turn on we then go to check they are OK. Started with one regular visitor and now there are 6.
