I have a Bonneville (2014) but live a bit too far away to park it at the Amex.

I was looking at the current Moto Guzzi Bobber today, and the new V85 
and am now thinking perhaps it’s time to take my test and just go for it.

Look at my Avatar to see wot I ride. Is it free parking?
At present it is always 3-4 of us car sharing form Ashington/Sullington but I'm sure there will come a day I'm going to be on my tod.

Sounds good, one of the reasons I take the CBR to Hove to watch us loose at cricket is due to the free parking near the County Ground, didn't realise I could do the same at the Amex. Cheers.

Seem to recall there was an NSC Bikers thread a few years back where we all shared what we were riding/had ridden and the possibility of a meetup.
Now into my 38th year of riding, started with a 1977 Honda CB125S and now back onto Honda with a 1997 CBR600F2 owned for past 12 years via around twenty or so different machines, should have kept 3-4 of them (especially my Norton Commando 750 Cafe Racer and Kawasaki H1!)

When I was 16 I had a Puch Maxi.
Probably the uncoolest thing to have ever been created.

Some of the early Japanese bikes were so stylish and their appeal still endures. They fetch a lot of money now and I regret the day I sold my Suzuki T350 hustler.
My first bike was an NSU Quickly with handlbar gear change which I sold for £3. Yes it was a long time ago.

I’ve been riding bikes for over 20 years and just like cars drivers the quality varies, but a good rider will be thinking 5 to 10 moves ahead of you. Time of day? Weather- temperature? Road surface? Are the kids out? How low is the sun in the sky? How deep can I look through cars windows to be ahead of any possible moves? How emotional is the driver infront and behind me, what information are they giving me? Where do I position myself to give the maximum arch of visibility on straights and bends?
Brain donors many of us are not!
Blimey there's hardly enough room for one, you must be from a close family!!

I had a Puch Magnum. Thought it was cool at the time. Followed by a RD250 back in the day of 250s on L plates with no test. Scary thought now.
Got a new Harley Breakout - love it. Go on it to most home games if the weather's ok.

I think he was suggesting I’m the brain donor for posting the ‘organ donor’ quip.
In my defence, in all my years in the game, I must have asked at least 3 times as many motorcyclists families to consider donating the organs of their dying relative, than I did car driver’s.
Those motorcyclists weren’t riding responsibly and reading the conditions as you describe above. They were taking the piss out of an empty A272 at 5am on a summer Sunday morning.
