One lady owner. Never raced or rallied.
Rather on the nose, no?

🚨 Public Service Announcement 🚨

Do NOT — I repeat — DO NOT listen to Appetite for Destruction while riding your motorcycle. I made that mistake and was instantly transported back to being a teenage menace with zero impulse control.

I’m a grown adult with bills and back pain for goodness sake!

Ride safe.

Oulton Park: Rider injured in British Supersport Championship crash in stable condition

The family of Tom Tunstall say he is in a stable condition after suffering a broken neck in a crash at Monday's British Supersport Championship race which killed two fellow riders.

Just swapped to Millers Oils ZFS — what a difference! Gear changes are slicker and quicker, especially with the quickshifter. Engine even sounds smoother… but also a bit angrier? Might be imagining it! 😀 Definitely recommend 👍 #motorcycle #MillersOils #Kawasaki #Ninja1000SX
Really pleased to say I passed my RoSPA advanced test with a Silver today — turns out I can ride after all! 🤣 Still loads of room for improvement, but I’m absolutely over the moon.

RoSPA Course completed. The initial feedback very positive from 5 tutors, the 6th says “You’re either lazy or don’t understand the system.” As an instructor for 15 years I’d never say that. Roadcraft suggests using judgment for 'lifesavers,' but he wanted them before doing anything, very disorienting, disappointing and initially affected my confidence. I’m going to do the test anyway. Either he’s right, or the previous 5 tutors are. 🤞 #RoSPA #Motorcycling
Just back from a ride with RoSPA tutor Ron. He's a hard man to please but he was smiling at the end! Motorways and Dual Carriageways and some filtering today. All good except I must remember not to filter like I normally do, folding my mirrors in did not please him one bit! 🤣 #motorcycles #RoSPA
So, I fractured my spine in a motorcycle accident this time last year. (Road around for 2 weeks before going to A&E which is another story.) It's never sore when I'm riding which as I don't have a car is good. Anyway, just started doing Yoga, which I never thought I would. Have to say, my back is a bit better! I haven't bought any lycra yet - not sure I'll ever be ready for that! 🤔 #motorcycling #yoga
Superb mother's day with the family, flowers and presents for the mum's (obviously!) and a nice Chinese takeaway at their request. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
