One of these days I'll ship my KZ-650 over there and join in with all this stuff! Looked at renting a bike in the U.K. but the prices are crazy - start at 100quid/day! Out of my range I'm afraid.

However, when I win the lottery...

I seem to remember the local boxer Wally Swift's brother was a biker and used to hang out there. We formed a biker's club on Aspley Lane ( Methodist Church) called the 77.

Don't think I could manage a kickstart these day's. But never thought I'd be riding at 64! Especially a Kawasaki ZZR1400: 0-60 in 2.4secs, 186mph top speed (restricted) and 190BHP! Lovin' it.
