  • Jez, that’s crap, my old f2 cbr600 did pizza delivery for ten years and still ran fine when I parked it, no idea my mileage, kept breaking clocks.

    I wonder are you just unlucky with this one engine? if you’re not trashing the bike, buy which ever one you like the best, regular oil changes and they really should go for a very long time ridden like that.






  • Sketchy passing manuover in a charity motorcycle race.

    To be honest we were racing honda 90’s (honda passports in NA) so every pass was sketchy, but this is high on my daft list.

    Diceing with a pro rider for a couple of laps, huge fun, close racing, a long lefthander coming up, I knew he had a big advantage here, his skinny ass could lean more here (ground clearance is a problem on soggy commuter bikes) so each lap he’d gain a little lead here, this time i’d nailed the corner, got close, two back markers ahead, didn’t lift, passed the pro guy, dived between the backmarkers, over a greasy kerb, massive highside/slapper, kept it pinned and pulled away, I think I scared the pro because I didn’t see him until it was all over.

    I had the biggest shit eating smile under my helmet the whole time.
