This is the now semi retired 996 with 52,000 miles on it ...

And a couple of actions shots ....

Coming onto the start / finish straight at Brands, it was a tad wet and on BT012SS's so not much tread either !!

And last year at Estoril ...

It doesn't always go to plan though, this is me bodysurfing out of Turn 2 at Valencia after a highside ....

And finally I have one of these for the road ...

my first bike having passed last year, defo a keeper, some suspension mods might be on the cards: it's so easy to chuck about and should come with an asbo for the noise. Dealership lent me a Panigale while i was waiting for delivery - need to sort the man maths out to make it work so I can have one of those too (even man maths has its limits it would seem :cry: )

Honda CB500X, more than adequate for work duties, without enough power to tempt me into licence-losing speeds! Fighting the urge to upgrade to something more powerful for summer... (if we even get a summer this year).

Love Ducati’s. if I lived on my own I’d have one in the lounge as they are gorgeous. Haven’t ridden since the nineties so always wonder how you guys keep you licences these days?

Mainly by choosing your moments to release those 160 horses and of course going overseas!!! Lot less traffic, less risk and better roads

I currently have a 1200 super Tenere and am now sat in a bar near Briancon in France.

Went through Belgium and Germany to get to the Czech Republic and the MotoGP at Brno. Then on through Slovakia to Hungary and Budapest, then Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and now France. Northern Spain next.

Colditz Castle in Germany was pretty special.

Id love an R1200 GS as a daily summer bike

Then get my dad to build me a Café Racer (probably a Norton) as I love the look.
