I've had my bike licence for 34 years now. 4 of them racing mid range sports production bikes. I normally fall off once or twice a season. I hope not to fall off this one as its not a sportsbike so I won't feel the need to go fast.

Ha, i knew about your bike racing in the past, but that still doesn't change your recent record

Looks a stunning bike tho, not seen a Busa in white before on the road. Look after it, bet the fairings aren't cheap if you drop it!

It was unreal today. As said went in to a few bike shops looking for a 50cc twist & go scooter. Walked into Gedges spotted that & bought it within 5 mins if that. Ali just gave me a strange look, shrugged her shoulders & said if your buying that I'm getting another helmet. We then found the new Honda vision 110cc. My daughter fell in love with that & a deal was done on both bikes + a new helmet. Got a big shock on insurance £10k quote on the BUSA Caroll Nash sorted it in the end at well under £1k

She's over the moon mate. Im hoping she passes her cbt today. Tyres do need changing on my bike though. I like to use all the tyre if poss not just the bit in the middle like the last owner.
