Quote of the day

  Some people will tell you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you that fast is better.  I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me.  Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube.  That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba…

It's always said that "slow and steady wins the race" but that wont get the holeshot-ever!!
I love watching Vids of sidecarcross, especially when the 5 sec board goes up and everyone gets into position for the start. You can see the tension mount.

Ladies, if a man says he will fix it, he will.

There is no need to remind him every 6 months about it.

I refer back to my all time favourite writer Hunter.S. Thompson and the quote that is often wrongly claimed by others to be theirs.......

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside
in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming-"Wow, what a ride"!

"that has shit written all over it"

Like Firko I love the Hunter S but Oscar Wilde is my Fav, Oscar had more wit and the ability to take the piss so well that they jailed him for it.
Fav Super Hunk quote.
Honda dosen't give a power figure for the SL 125 which is just about right.
