My first love is cars but I am very much into bikes. I get different kick out of both and have been lucky enough to experience some exotica in the car world that blew my mind.

yes evo is a car mag but if you go back far enough then they occasionally did run a bike on the long term fleet. HM is also into his bikes.

I'm assured that subsequent issues in this series has some spectacular riding and maybe a victory too, enough to make Jethro contemplate bikes even though they are not his thing.

Its light hearted fun and could be debated as long as the TT thread!

I think this is all. Dry original indeed, especially the bit where he says 'dressing up like a. Power Ranger'. I nearly pissed my pants it was so funny.

Morning folks,

I've very recently done 2 track days, one on my bike, Triumph RS Sprint, and the other in a car, Porsche 911 Turbo, both were great, but the bike day I found much harder and way more exciting. The car is obviously stupid quick but in no way threatening, I never felt the 'coppery mouth tingle' in it, but regularly did on my bike, I'm not the fastest rider, but I was high for a week after the bike day!

Clearly it wasn't my car, but my Triumph cost £2,500, the Porsche £112,000, bike wins every time for me...

Mike.

It has to come down to the experience and cost. If you go to the very top of the game moto gp v f1 is not the F1 about 30 secs faster per lap than the bike (sweeping generalisation).

I am both a car and bike buff and not particularly poor but I cannot afford a car that will perform as fast as a bike I could easily afford. So it's the bike for the fast stuff and the car for the luxury side.

Triumph and Jaguar- You know it makes sense!

I remember overtaking a Ferrari 348 on an MZ ETZ250.

He was stuck in traffic, we weren't.
