Re: I'm sooooo tempted...

Way OT I know, Phil, but don't do it.

If you dont even have your licence, get something sensible (!) like a
CBR600/Thundercat.

far too many bikers die (even on the track, although it's safer than the
road!). Those of us who started young with 125s etc seem to last better,
older bikers who rush out and buy *awesome* sports bikes tend to end up as
road decorations. :(

Simple test: if you can stay alive and keep a smaller bike in one piece for
a year, you can upgrade then, and not being "on the edge" for a
year is
hardly going to matter, is it?

Ian.

Hmmmm ... I think at the moment you might be leading me in the "More
money
than sense" trophy but I amost went one better yesterday. A mate at
work
offered me his 14,000 mile Honda Fireblade for £2.5k ... I was tempted but
decided not to as I only wanted it for track days and I don't have a bike
license (yet).

(By the way www.moremoneythansense.com has been taken ... I was thinking
that might be an appropriate domain for me...)

Anyway ... the missus went ape when I suggested doing track days last night
so maybe it's a good job I didn't buy it?
