…The sniff of motorbike fumes. I don’t know what it is but I’m REALLY missing my motorbike just lately. More than at any other time in the last 3 years since I sold it to finance more immediate priorities, i.e. Baby Ben. It’s a killer when you’re stuck in slow moving traffic on a sunny spring day and you see bike after bike just cruise past you on a rideout. That used to be me :0( And to be brutally honest, that situation is probably not going to be redressed anytime soon. But hey, you can dream, and there’s no harm in looking!

Scott at a Cadwell Park track day.What a gorgeous bike. A featherweight 163Kg, it’s even lighter than my Honda CBR 600F was! But, as much as you can’t beat the buzz of rolling that throttle back of a supersports on what seems unending and fierce acceleration, I think my next bike (and there will be a next bike) will have to be something a little less lethal, a little more comfortable, and I’m leaning towards something with some serious bottom end grunt instead of 180mph redlines. I’m thinking V-Twin. Or am I just under the influence of too many episodes of OCC?

Whenever it happens, whatever I choose, I definitely wont be doing 130mph wheelies and 180mph on the motorway:
