A parrot is a commitment isn't it? They live for quite a few years don't they?

Since I had been pretty much hiding any trace of my previous love affair with motorcycles (1991 when my best friend at the time and I shared a 2 stroke Yamaha RD350), I don't have any photos from back then.

I had also been keeping my current amour a secret until my 5 and 7 years old boys decided to blab to Grandma and Granddad....oh well. It is a pretty sad indictment of my relationship with my folks that at 43 years of age I still feel the need to keep things from them.

Anyway here is a snap of me with 2 time IOM TT winner Cameron Donald - and yes I did own a honda at the time.

Me Racing at Brands Hatch WSB practice 1998. Great Bike, it was a Rotax powered Tigcraft we raced between the two superbike events. That year the Supermono qualification time would have put you 6th on the main grid!!!!!!, they were fast.

Oooooooohhhhh. A Tigcraft Single! Thought about importing one to race, back in the day, but never pulled the trigger.... Dammit. Could have learned A LOT about corner speed, no doubt. I envy your experience, mate! They are so Tiny and Perfect.

Off topic but if it tickles your fancy, my mate Johnny has just signed up to take over the composite side of Armstrong Motorcycles ............................... carbon fibre frame for a Rotax 256 tandem twin 2 stroke, anyone?

Me on my new CJ360T, in about 1978. Moved on to a KZ550 that tired to kill me on several occasions so I quick motorcycling for about 26 years. Reentered with a MG Quota. Then the GRiSO.

Me last year, pretending I'm racing, at the bike show. About as close as I'll ever get. Can't seem to find a good one of me on the GRiSO. Maybe at the rally next month. Very Happy

1989. I smelled like 2-stroke most of the time. A moron; just look at those pants! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

2000, my first road bike. Starting to realize I don't know everything. In graduate school so I can gradually learn I don't want to be in school any more. Sweet Casio wristwatch. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And yesterday. Happy with how life turned out -- there's a GRiSO in the garage and tons of other nice things have happened. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Just me and the GRiSO relaxing and chatting in the park. She's a very good listener!
Tried to get some action shots , but taking pics with one hand on the bars and the other shooting pictures and constantly signalling for a left turn just got other drivers and pedestrians angry with me.
