What a b'stard question !

Where did it all go ?

Hmmm ... and how many of you can boast that they've only just bought their second car ?

[andys 900ss]

26yrs (im only 32) dad was a racer so started me very, very young....

'79 Yam 50cc scrambler
'80 Yam TY80 trials bike

Had a massive gap after good friends in racing got killed !!!

Took Direct Access test in '98 and bought a GPZ600r

Then brought a brand new CBR600 fx in 2000 (not reliable at all !!)

Got bored of 100mph everywhere and exchanged for the tricked-up 900ss at end '01 and kept the baby ever since.

Also bought the R1 road/trackbike last xmas.
