Result

10 years for me in July 2006. Plenty of time to plan a party.

 

<aside>

I love listening to tales of the olden days. Makes such a difference
from my "pay 500 quid for a full licence and go and buy a 400 race
rep".

 

It certainly did not rev to 16k. 12k, as I said above. 80mph on the
speedo.

 

Not *that* sort of hug, Nigel.

 

This'd be a 'well screwed together' one, I assume?

There's a stretch of road, up in the hills in County Antrim, that just
goes down and down, steeply, in a straight line, for several miles. I
managed to get my 11-or-so bhp CB125TD off the top of the speedo down
there, while lying flat on the tank, throttle to the stop, with a
tailwind, for about five minutes. I think the speedo stopped at 75, so
I'm guessing I was doing 80ish. One of the scariest things I've ever
done on a bike.
