Then they had a track day. And managed to find a collection of complete berks to interview. "I've got a race hump, no I don't know why, it looks good or something" Maybe it's just me, but impressing blokes (or women) wasn't why I got a bike.. I got a bike because of the challenge and the experience.

I got a bike after seeing a 750 MV Augusta overtake my mum's Renault 6. 'course it took me a few years, I was only seven at the time. Led to the heady heights of a Puch Maxi 'field bike' at the venerable age of fourteen. If I was stupidly rich and had the kind of property to keep and look after such a bike.

I got a bike because there was only one bus to college and it left 15 mins before I finished my shift at work. I got the job because I needed some money to pay for the bike. Then it all goes a bit chicken/egg.
