Fun with Bikes!
Having owned at last Count 68 Road Bikes and a Motley assortment of Off-Roads , I sometimes feel the need to re-explore them?, and You , My Victims (Friends ) will just have to put up with it! ( or at least tolerate my meanderings)
A Brief History of Superbikes from the Seventies , that really started the Need for Speed!
I have tried all of these except for the Benelli!
Modern Superbikes, the descendants of the above, having fun in a way that sometimes ensures that Hospital Staff , are not just idling away!
Luckily the roads appear to be in good shape , unlike here in good old South Africa!
Saying that, there is no feeling like exploring places at a fair rate of knots on a two-wheeler?, or a Trike, for that matter?
Videos appear courtesy of Youtube, not my property.
... the question though is: how many of the 68 do you still have?
Or were you, like me with new braais, "politely encouraged" to work on a 1-out, 1-in basis? :P
Down to one and three quarters.Some of them would be worth an absolute fortune now, Oh Well. And one off-road!
From now on it will be an offroad bike that I will use...that way I wont die by other people issues and lack of concentration and still get the kick of riding....even more so since you get the back out often on those.
That and perhaps a small scooter...no temptation to ride like a hooligan on those
Did you hear about Deryn Venski's fall?
I did actually. Wasn't sure if it was a bicycle or motorbike. Take it he came off on a bike with horsepower? Like your younger days perhaps?
Motorcycle , I believe some debris on a slow corner,and his leg is shattered , long recovery period expected.
That sux! Serious injury is always a problem especially when trying to support family.
How you Al?
Really Battling, need to try some other things, Perhaps put Sandbox back together with originals, and go on World Tour?
Damn it seems this is needed....I am fast running out of cash from this farming. Hopefully the 1st few crops will move us forward.
Sandbox! Can you imagine :)
I can't count the number of cars I had - Deb tried to put her foot down - what
convinced me was a call from the government asking if I had a dealers license...Uh NO!
Come to think of it, if you had a Dealers licence , you could have Dealer Plates!
That would mean you could have a whole collection of cars , and use the plates on whatever one you fancied for the day? Eliminating all the licencing and insurance! Brilliant John. You are truly inspiring.
wonderful bikes. nice speed.
