Here’s mine, a fabulous bike to ride is set up correctly. Currently tucked up and hibernating, but will be back on the road in the spring.

One of my pals used to have a yellow 748SPS. Nice bike, nearly as fast as my Mille.
Here’s a few of us back in the day, probably 15 years ago on a chilly ride out. 3 of us still got the bikes today, my Mille, the 85 GSXR and the TRX.

I cannot imagine not having a bike. I'm 55 now and the Norton race bike is a struggle for anything longer than an hour or two. But the 2 Guzzi's are much more 'back-friendly'. It's really not fair that now that `i can afford the bikes I always drooled over I am too old and unfit to ride them. Probably keeping me alive though as I have no doubt that my reactions aren't good enough for an MV Agusta or Ducati any more.

The Toe cutter is no more a Great film for me the original one and why I had my 76 Z1000 for so long.

Mad Max's Hugh Keays-Byrne was an actor of visceral, wall-rattling force and underrated talent

Keays-Byrne, who died this week, will be remembered for his gnarly performances as Toecutter and Immortan Joe, but every role he took was a revelation

Your just a bairn, I’ll be 70 in February and looking forward to running my Ducati next spring. It keeps you young!

I remember seeing him race at Silverstone.

Deserved to be a mulitple 350 and 250 world champion with a 'tache like that. 78-79 were his years. Interestingly kawasaki and Anton Mang are still the 350 world championships.

I'm liking this.

Have any of you ever watched ROAD, two generations of a road racing family. Really worth watching.
