  1. It doesn’t all have to be pinning the throttle!, communing with the Monster with a brew, listening to the gentle “tick tick” as she cools after a morning’s ride, SOA soundtrack on the google mini speaker, magic! C5129A43-85F8-4253-A1F8-02D2481160E7.jpeg

  2. I like the cut of your jib Sir! How about catching the admiring glance from a passer by as you walk away from your bike? I’m such a bike tart ;)

  4. For clarity I would like to point out that I have never pinned the throttle on the monster, it’s way too scary :0 , I have to use the Scrambler for that!.

  15. Me and my bro out on the Dukes, me PP Mutley and bro on the 998.....
    Waiting outside a mates house for him to get ready, my bro pops in for a quick natural break.
    I'm left sitting on guard, man walking his dog says "nice bike".
    I responded "thanks", to which he says "not yours, that one" with a supercilious grin.
    I smile back and nod saying "thanks..... they both mine".....:blush::yum

  17. Off the top of my head;

    the first bike I ever had as a kid, my dad spent months secretly restoring it and making it mint before presenting it to me on Christmas Day as a complete surprise. Remember it like yesterday.

    the day I passed my road test and went for my first ride on my first bike.

    The first time I ever opened up a thousand... it was a 2014 Fireblade. The rush was something else ! I don’t think you ever forget the first time you pin a litre.

    Winning at Cadwell Park last year.

    sending Hicky out on my bike to set a gauntlet time for me and getting within 3 tenths of it. Very proud moment even though in my head I know he most likely wasn’t pushing mega hard.


    Just a few of what springs to mind at this very moment

  18. Walking past Palins Motors in Derby every morning on my way to work at 16 years of age and looking at my silver GT250 in their display window, I’d bought it some weeks before but had to wait for my 17th birthday, I can still see it clearly in my minds eye, the display lights shining in the chrome, and that moment when I kicked it up and rode off, wearing my Barry Sheene Suzuki belt buckle, Magic!
    If anyone has OAL 474 P please give it back :)
