At the end of the day its how and why you ride rather than what that really counts..
eg;
I met a woman on the weekend who's pride and joy (98 1200 Bandit) is her sole means of transport , has never owned a car , been riding since 9 yrs old.
We had a great ride during and after the event (toy run/St Barbera's day) despite vastly different machines... It was more the trust thing of feeling confident to ride alongside someone who knows what they are doing and can hold their line even through twisty bits.... Awesome

So true! ...sounds like Rosie's a girl after my own hart

.. my first car i rebuilt - a 124 Fiat...Rebuilding was dad's way of making his kids respect their vehicles and helping them understand how things worked...the irony is i lent it to him for the weekend and he pushed her too hard and she threw a leg through the sump..i didn't bother with another cager..then i got 2 dogs and the navara.. but it's really for a needs basis.. i get withdrawals if i dont do at least 400km a week

If you get in the right bike group they can teach you so much. The first Toy run i ever did was with the Goulburn Valley Ulysses Club..i hadn't had a lot of expreience riding close in large groups, but i was pretty confident (cocky's prob a better word) and ended up 4th in the pack and my pic in the paper..

.. i still keep in touch with the growing old discracefully...they are great for a laugh and some good stories...
Love twisties!! That's what i loved most about the high country..that and the storms...both sent you heart racing...No room for error on your corners either

I wrote a piece for the TAC "Suggestions from the highcountry" I only wrote it for the prize money $250.00 and i really needed a new pair of boots..

..it came equal 1st.. if you want a laugh
