i will be totally honest and frank about myself ,i am a huge sportsbike fan/lover. I had a major off back in 2001 which has left me some what disabled. And i am just getting back to being mobile. If the wife had of permitted i would have got another bike, instead of the car, but such is life i guess.

sorry to hear about the off, good that you are on the mend and there are a few peeps who love their bikes on here too, Girlracer and benR for starters

Hello and welcome Ziffy

Bikes are my first love too. Its a shame that cars are more practical. Especially when you have a mortgage and all that boring stuff.

Unfortunately I also know what its like to fall off a motorbike and hurt myself fairly badly. Although, by the sound of it not as bad as you.

Just watch out for Powelly, she just cannot stop herself from hijacking every thread. Its just sooooooooo annoying! Especially when she should be working. Mind you, you know what women are like. They just cant help it eh???

Yep, worse than me.......I just smashed my collarbone up, I only lost about 1.5 inches from the width of one shoulder, as the bone healed on top of the other one. Jeez.....its still better than having to walk with one foot in the gutter though! My thoughts go out to ya matey.

I understand what you mean about wanting to get another bike though. I was riding withing 5 weeks. Even though I was nowhere near healed. Theres nothing like a superbike to give you a huuuuge adrenaline rush.

What did you have? I have just got rid of my ZX9R.

Thundercat (thats a YZF600R not the YZF R6 for those that dont know bikes), still a bloody good bike though, mine was Yellow and Silver 96 model. I had just valued it against a ZX9 and Fireblade, but of course things changed. I am now looking forward to driving again .

i know what its like to come off a bike too, only a kawasaki 125 (sp ?) first go on a bike (my mates) on an industrial estate, slipped on some deisel, now have a large scar on my knee, and my left shoulder sags a bit. thats was only 20mph. glad to hear you are on the mend, and welcome to the club!
