Looks like a good forum for banter and knowledge of all things AND R1's
Very quick précis and i will post picks later when i get near a windows based pc.
Been riding since I was 7, first road bike at 16, passed test 17 on a 125 (just caught the 125 law) and then straight onto an RD250LC. After that, bike history was RGV250L, RGV250M, RG500, CBR1000RRR (Tiger Blade) then every major revision of the Fire Blade from 899, 918, 929, 954,1000 under seat pipes to my current 08 RR8 model. I am no Spring Chicken as you will have gathered from that
Also bought a Honda RS250R 4 years ago.
Lifetime MGP fan with Barry Sheene, Kevin Schwantz, Mick Doohan and VR46 being the riders i have appreciated watching the most over the years. You can't knock Marquez though
In fact anyone who races bikes at top level are all supremely talented and deserve admiration.Track Days are my thing these days, packed in the roads when i bought my 08 Blade.
First track day 24 years ago, do about 4-5 a year, many tracks, Catalunya stands out as the best one i have done. Took my ACU last year, looking to do a race this year on the 250GP Bike in the ACU250GP National Championship
My current Blade is 7 years old come May and as Honda have stagnated a bit in recent years I have decided for change.
That's why i am in here with you good people
I was on the R1M registration page the minute it became live at 12pm, went through the application and i am lucky to now be waiting like a pregnant mother for April to delivery my new baby.
Signed up for the YRE, hoping to do Mugello ... Waiting for that web site to go live at the moment.
Well there you have it ... Some pictures later
