Well? ;)

Since I'm floating around being tempted by biking what's your bike?

I noticed some TFC forum visitors owned bikes.

Since I'm still 20, I'd be looking at one of the 125 varieties, and what nice looking varieties they are...except for the Honda /shiver (as reliable as it may be).

I'm not sure if I'd fit onto an Aprilia RS125 / Cagiva Mito or Planet, since I'm 6 foot 3 ish.... last thing I want is to squeeze onto something I spend > 2k on ;)

I think I may have a 125 anyway, being the less powerful, I won't be too overpowered without having the skill to handle it. I know the RS125 and Mito are allegedly quite awkward bikes for a beginner, but imagine an R1... that would be a write off two weeks after owning ;) [ignoring the obvious insurance horror price]

I got a 21 speed mountain bike !! lol

Think I would be too dangerous on a proper bike, I'm dangerous enough in my car, I keep getting it sideways on the way to work !!!

lol, I think I'll be too dangerous too :D

but i went ahead and booked a Compulsary Basic Training course for 1st Feb.

Now I get to stew until then.

Thankfully i have a motorcycle dealer within walking distance from work, so I can go and drool over them if I find my desire wavering :)

As far as my appreciation for cars goes, that looks cool :cool:

Now take an oath to let all motorcyclists filter past you....
