Right here we go ...
Think back to a momment in your life that involved bikes ...

Something kinda personal that means something to you ...

(obviously i wouldnt expect anything you would want to share with others)

It doesnt have to be extreme or beating Mr Jones next doors 0-25mph kinda stuff
Just meaningful things that in reality we can all kinda relate to because weve all experienced simply riding bikes ...

Speedofile 1300cc Superstar Joined: Friday, August 12, 2005 Posts: 2255 Location: Reading United Kingdom	Highlight of my life...February 1998...beautiful Sunday morning in Cape town about 10 of us set off for a serious scratch, I'm on a brand new TL1000R (yello) so here we go. We get to one of the best mountain passes in the world called Lundudno pass and I'm in the lead. All of a sudden we are joined by 3 other riders. They pick their way through all of my mates and one of them passes me and suddenly I thought "That's it...I'm gonna teach these boys a thing or two"...we raced about 10-15 miles down this mountain, fastest I had ever been down there in my llife, but ended second. Got to a coffee shop at the bottom and guess who our guests were...Frankie Chilli, Foggy and Lance Isaacs. Best ride of my life!! -- If you have an itch...Scratch it!!

Maybe a close second was the day a rode my brand new Kawasaki Z1 home way back in 1975 or the day I picked my 1968 Bonneville up [in 1968] or perhaps it was the first day I got to ride my NSU 49cc moped legally on the road for the first time on June 10th 1966. --

yellowmanhu 750cc Boy Racer Joined: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 Posts: 151 Location: Siofok Hungary	about 1982-(i had been a bike cop in Rochester,Kent since 1979 and had just passed my advanced test in 1981) I went to do a stop-check on a guy riding like a loony on the A2 in Rochester on a Kawasaki 900. He took off so I had my first Bike-on Bike chash.He tried everything inc off roading across the local town gardens- I was on a BMW something(as on my forum gallery)-Anyway it didnt last long-He put his hand up, pulled over after 10mins and about 5 miles up towards maidstone and gave himself up. Just nicked the bike-job done. In 7 years of being a bike cop-that was the only bike chash I had-nicking bikes wasnt so populer as it is now(had loads or bike/ car chases though-easy-peezy) -- Life is like a box of chocolates

yamsngixas 125cc Learner Joined: Saturday, December 01, 2007 Posts: 17 Location: N. Lincolnshire United Kingdom	3yrs ago, had an R1 in dining room through winter n was buying new parts and fitting them while had bodywork n tank off givin her a clean - carbon bits, hugger, tail tidy, clear lenses..... etc. Ended up spending bout grand on her, worth every penny !! She looked awesome, shining better than if brand new ! One morning got the old YZF750 out which i use for work and realised needed petrol. I had some in a jerry can and suddenly thought what a good opportunity it would be to show the lads at work me R1 as they all were dying to see it after showing pictures of each progression as the bits went on ! Got a mile down the road / 800 yds away from work and a post office van decided to pull out in front of me when im literally yds away from him. My bike ended up sat in a cabin at work - written off for all to see until i was capable of walking again to take it away !! Not quite the state i wanted them to see it in ! Funniest thing looking back is that i stopped half way to work that morning to rub a bit of dry polish i had missed off the tank !! --

Nice ! -- Adz. Check out my band www.myspace.com/silvssilva
