MY LISTS
HOT
NOT
Moto Guzzis. Top Fuel Dragsters, 8000 bhp makes perfect sense !
Japanese bikes, efficient,but souless, like a fridge, keep the milk cold, but no emotional involvement
You Tube clips of Eric Teboul, showing him going towards a 300 mph quarter of a mile on a Hydrogen Peroxide rocket powered motorcycle,same technology as a Lunar module engine. 216 mph at 220 yards !
Similar to Slammin Sammy Millers Vanishing Point car, which holds all time drag record of 3.58 seconds, at 384 mph.Set at Santa Pod in 1984.
0-100 mph = 0.16 secs !!!
Just about everything on TV at present !
MULTIMEDIA ME
ME: TAGGED! (The keywords and phrases that best sum me up...) Outgoing, tolerant, but when I lose it, keep well back !

Hi I have had an expensive week, service and a new back tyre on my Cali Stone today, with a new front now due as well, and my top box came off the back last week at 85 mph, and suprisingly didn't survive it ! Looking forward to the Guzzi International Rally in France this June, as I didn't get away anywhere in 2007 due to job change/poverty. I have the Stone since April 2005, and despite very little use in 2007, and up until now in 2008, have managed to put 35,000 miles on it. It is now running really well having had Mike De Clifford from Moto Corsa tune it today, and feels like a turbine and not a dump truck again. Looking forward to meeting a few of you at Duxford
