my stamping ground was the ace and busy bee cafe,s and of course the 59 club,
sold my 2004 yamaha r1 and norton atlas to come here 4 years ago,
allso had an sfc laverda 1000, based on the jota engine, bought for me new by a happy endings massage parler madam, based in southampton,
so over 55 years biking ive owned or have ridden every bike from 60,s 2 strokes to the 916 and f4 mv,
the factory aprilia was by far the best bike in the wet, but my love was the r1,
i have to say that as good as italian bikes are to look at they are a pain ride.
sorry to bore you barboro with my tear stained missive, but i do mis the biking,
