Hi Butterflyspain:
No, I don't have a bike anymore. The last one I was ON (and it was NOT moving) was a Bull Taco my brother raced...now that is one scary machine. It goes like it has a brain of it's own and people who race them often get hurt bad on them. My brother has had several for race bikes, gets them...rides a couple races then sells them and pretty soon he thinks he needs another one. He's quite the rider but sure respects the power and speed of tht particular machine. He loves Harley's and has some vintage ones as well as a newer model. He has about 30 bikes as he's a collector of all things on 2 wheels that go fast. He's won the gegional National Championship bike races for our part of the world a couple times and has been invited to race against the other regional winners but hasn't felt the need to travel across the country for a month of racing ...it's expensive and he's happy with his region wins. At 65 years old we hope he'll quit racing one of these years. He's been hurt so many times and has been lucky some of the injuries weren't fatal...only life threatening! :cry: :roll: Be careful on those bikes.[/quote]
Yes they can be lethal, but boy has he got some go in him.... I am full of admiration on his great wins. Its something that gets in the blood and they just love to race. My son did dirt track racing, but gave up after a particularly nasty accident. Someone ran right over his back when he came off and he had the tyre print very very clearly rights across him.
Glad he gave up, he drives a juggernaut now so that keeps him happy, he is his own boss.... Elle
