Not that I actually ride out with any of them mind you.
Ping and I are commitophobs and too far away from each other

(plus said fella's bike's allergy), and Nick either never rides for just fun or is just plain too scared to ride out with me!

As for bruv, see earlier comment. Plus he'd never ride out with me, it's be just to embarassing for him to handle - his little sister having a bigger bike than him (as well as having been riding an extra 15 years too!). :P

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i'm going now, i may be sometime.....sniff

Now now Keith, at least you have a bike that goes, which is more than he does.

Excluding the SV650 posse... Rob rides a Trophy (he's got a 900 for winter and a 1200 for summer, because he's an oddball), Ben's got a GSX1300, and Stewart's between bikes- he's got a CBR600RR with his name on it though. Bren's PX125 turned into a single blob of rust last winter and doesn't qualify as a bike anymore, it's a big garden chair now.

Woody - Bandit 1200
Burty - Aprillia tunono/TRX(fightered) (ex ZRX12 rider)
Quzzy - GSX14/FJ Streetfighter custom
Pete - CB1300

And to be honest, find a twisty road, and 9/10 times, i will be at the end waiting for them to catch up. In a straight line, well thats a different matter

Not Terry by any chance, is it?

Best mate has a Honda CB750 four (from the late 70s).
Another friend has a "proper" offroad Aprilia (rather than roadbike in dirtbike clothing).

Not many of my close mates ride.

A few of the lads in work do;
One rides a Pan 1100, another a Daytona 650 and another some 500cc Kwak from the 70s that I don't know the name of.
