Some where on the list, number 10 would probably be best, should be CRASH.

You're not driving hard enough if you've not had an incident ot two!

Nothing. Sold my GXS-R600 6 months ago. Just wasn't using it very much since the S came along.

Think I should probably have a little refresher before getting on the new one
I know what you mean - only did 1200 miles on mine last year.

Possibly a good idea for a refresher - that will be one ridiculously fast bike

Got to be a run down to Le Mans. I'm hoping to go in 2007!

Also, a trip round the Ring.

Drive to Monte Carlo and a blast through the tunnel in VTEC

A trip over that pass in Switzerland (the name escapes me at the moment)

A blast over the new bridge in France

Lands End to John 'O Groats without using DC or MW

Congrats dude, many happy miles.

Can't believe Fast Bikes is still going. I used to read it when I was still a high school kid dreaming of my first sport bike. I just remember Colin Schiller and the race diaries of the Emmett brothers along with road tests on unbelievably bad layouts, like red text on a yellow background. There were 3 or 4 British privateers involved in 500gp back then and they all got major press in the mag. Then the Fast Bikes videos came out - miles and miles of wheelies on ZZR1100s with a tiresome guitar jingle played ad nauseum in the background.

Chillyice - it's the Stelvio Pass in northern Italy. Been there, done that. In fact I'm going again this year

For people who are interested in going, the pass is closed due to snow until the end of May
