This is how two wheels should be used.

Aprilia RS250

Nice. I had a RS125 in that livery. My RS250 needs sorting, actually.

Grubes,
Sorry to hear of your Embankment incident, I too have suffered on that road. Unfortunately it was my own muppety and resulted in a broken ankle, 3 ribs and a collar bone! Ouch…

Talking bikes how about this:

996 are awesome but unless you're 'on it' they make your wrists hurt. Lots.

I need one of these.

Nice.

Too grey for a superbike now, so if I went back I'd go big 'n lazy




Still fancy a Buell too. Bit of a boat anchor, but lovely handling little things.

Interesting front brake set up.

Thanks chap.

I think I was rather fortunate to get away without broken bones - but I'm feeling rather tender today.

It was basically a sequence of events that I should have foreseen and avoided but alas didn't and couldn't. More "wrong place, wrong time" than muppetry, but with hindsight I should definitely have played it differently.

It's left me feeling in no rush to get back on 2 wheels...

In better news, the 130i's issues have been sorted quickly and without hesitation by Birds, with whom I continue to be thoroughly impressed.

A sentiment that is easier to stick to if you are moving out of London!

Glad the 130i is sorted too.

Not from there he can't.

I love how that is just engineering purity at its finest - nothing frivolous, no redundant weight being carried in the name of aesthetics, just form well and truly following function, and being quite delightful as a result.

I assume it's a Brian James?
