Had a bike licence for 15 years ... started on Fazer 600, tried a VFR 800 and moved onto CBR1100 Blackbirds (3 in total!).

Downsized today to an Aprilia 300cc scooter

Still, it keeps my NCB going until I can fool the other half into letting me have another VFR

Ex biker here I guess. I've still got my bike but it's in pieces at the moment and I've not rides for 7 odd years. Used to do loads of trackdays at the time and never repaired the bike after my last crash as I'd just bought a house which swallowed all my money at the time. One day though...one day my bike will breath again

Im a huge bike fan - ridden since i was 17 - raced super stock for a season - don't ride on the road so much now that i have my children but do around 10 tracks day per year - have been down to the Nurburgring 3 times on my bikes and would like to look at doing some European track days this year if time and budget allows bearing in mind ive just treated myself to the R26.R for car track days and the Ring etc. Cant wait for the biking "season" to start again!! Ive bored the guys on here with pics of me and my bikes too many times over the years so will refrain!

Me on my beloved machine. Trying to get my knee down. Again! Crazy days.



Locked up safely in a cupboard in the kitchen since the children came along as I promised the wife. It would be great to get back into it one day though. I'd love a pan-European tour. The Alps especially.

Been riding since I was in primary school. My dad is a biker and now buys/sells/restores bikes for a living. Never had a (legal) road bike as the deal with getting one when I was a kid was that I promised my mum I would never ride on the road. Dangle a motorbike in front of a 10 year old and they will promise you anything

Raced motocross up until I was about 16. Had everything from one of the little 50cc Honda twist and go jobs right up to a Yamaha YZ250. Laterly had a couple of track bikes including a GSXR and an R1. Gave it all up when the kids started dropping.

Pic at Almeria about 8 years ago.

Still got the old '78 Suzuki GS1000 that I've had from new and not ridden in 20 years!

Lately, a bit of a born-again biker with this:
