HOLY CRAP, how did you manage to stay on????????????????????????????????????????????

Glad you did though :)

I had to wrestle a double blow out on a Honda Blackbird at 90mph, wooden sleeper in the middle of a dark unlit section of road just as I swung out to pass a car. It blew out both tyres and took out the bellypan, I stayed on!!View attachment 11340View attachment 11341

Not a scooby do! Once I'd wrestled to a stop at the side of the road I let out a loud "YEESSSSS" and punched the air. Wild ride!

I had the blackbird from new in 2000, sadly I rode it in to the floor, as other bikes came it went down the pecking order to winter bike, it was a mess when I sold it in 2014. Shame it was great bike.

Bit calmer now but I quite enjoyed poking the grim reaper with a stick and running away, had more than my fair share of close shaves, even broken bones is getting away with it.

What the fuck were they thinking when they designed the glovebox on the E51!

I know there is a lot behind it, but the dash is massive and glovebox is the size of a large letter....
I think the clue is in the name.. it's for your gloves ,😁😁, not too sure about a " cockpit" though !!!
