Save your money and jump infront of a bus if you want to die------------EEJIT statement

You might not be afraid of dying but what about the feelings of your parents and people who know you and have to deal with the aftermath

What people are about to spend time typing:
"useful balanced stuff"

What the OP is likely to take from it:
"Whatever he wants to"

For that reason, I'm out

Lol Joe you do know how to phrase things in the absolute possible worst way to get a decent response from folk.

Thing is Jo you could crash into a mate your girl ,
Or me.
Then you might not die but be paralysed .

Get a track bike and win moto gp for us.
Speed is a kick. But use it in an appropriate place.

Actually Joe ignore them all, do what you want.

I have a friend who bought an R1 as her first bike 2 weeks after passing her test. We all enjoyed riding behind her as she has a very tidy back end. But you learned in the twisties to get past her as she couldn't ride. Her husband on his R6 (passed his test two years into her riding) was passing her on most bends. bloody annoying though on the straights when she would loon passed you.

She as a poor rider on powerful bike never crashed or came off, why do people assume power will lead to disaster? Although she rode to her ability and when she sold the bike she was a far better rider than the first time she wobbled upto my house to show off her new pride and joy.

Take from the above what you will. Life is to be enjoyed, but don't let bravado get in the way of that enjoyment.
