There’s nothing chicken about riding a motorcycle, just some arseholes like to puff out their chests and brag about how fucking brave they are.
That Streetfigter has an ABUS disc lock in the pic, so should be safe from lunatic pub landlord attack atleast.
Can't comment for the whole country, but around here you've got to have your eyes peeled for potholes that would have you off, so as Anthony said, a fast ride out is not what it was and getting home in one piece is the main consideration, particularly in the dark. I bet we can all recall riders who were always faster than everyone else, but l can think of several who suddenly disappeared or had a "big one".
This morning at Prestwick Airport. This sleepy little airport has been VERY busy with military exotica over the last few months; Mmmmm, I wonder why?! I thing the big tanker in the middle is RAAF! If so the big Seila's a long way from home.
