    Brighton to Norwich on a Puch Maxi at 25mph (max) in mostly thunder and lightning, in 1973.
    The 200 mile journey took me 14 hours.
    But did it on under 2 gallons of pre-mix petrol.

    I loved riding the GSX-R600 in the snow….go past cars sidewards….loads a laffs![:o)]



    NEW BIKE ON FRIDAY!!!

    LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, VODKA in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!

    Not sure if this counts, but once in Germany, I rode from Fallingbostal and back via Hamburg, Travemunde and Lubbecke. Not such a great distance in a big bike, but took me 18 hours nonstop on a moped. It only did 15 mph tops.

    Nah, it was Ok. It was only an air cooled single cylinder 2 stoke with side inlet valves. Kinda thing you could ride in Germany with no license. I was the one that was in meltdown, lol.

    Through the air and landing in a ditch!!

    Don`t ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!….

    Deep down inside me there`s a skinny girl trying to come out, but normally I can shut that b*tch up with some chocolate!…..
