I was working it out on Saturday that if I ring the R6's neck to the best of my abilities I'll lose my license before I hit second in town, it is a waste of power - but the bike is also soooo pretty...

From time to time I get acquaintances borrowing it because they had one back in the day and want to reclaim the magic. I'm not complaining, after all that means I get to play with whatever their toy is. Usually they come back with a big grin, but also disappointed, what seemed really quick in 1977 isn't any more. I get a lot of fun from it because I ride it on little twisty roads, on long straight fast ones I much prefer the other occupant of my stable.<br /><br />In January I had to commute on the Honda for a day or two. A busy dual carriageway on it was no fun at all.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-46635335356342636982010-03-07T16:42:38.698+00:002010-03-07T16:42:38.698+00:00I remember those bikes!
