There's a one in a million chance that can happen. I ride motorbikes all the time. I'm willing to take the risk. _________________ Insert useless signature here -----> |

The only buzz that comes close to it is flying. Have been off the road for two years and it is killing me. What are you after Madness? |

Can only get up to a 250. So either a kwaka GPX250 or a Honda CBR250. They are the two im leaning towards anyway...still looking though. _________________ "whaaa whaaaaaa! |

GPX's always had a reputation as being bullet-proof. ZZR's also good if you want something reliable. Enjoy it it's magic.
Caught the train down to Melbourne from north central Victoria the day I turned 17 years 9 months and bought my first roadbike from Ray Quinceys. Then had to take it home on the train in time to make my license test at 5:00pm. Had the pleasure of being dunk by none other than Brian 'Bristle' Taylor from Quincey's Elizabeth st down to Spencer st station, during which he punched a delivery truck (no shit) for pulling out in front of us. Brian was probably 100kgs, I was probably 95kg - both of us on this tiny little RZ 250 two stroke. Nice way to start my road riding. Good luck hunting for something. |

I hope the train down to Melbourne from north central Victoria the day he or she turned 17 years 9 months and bought his or her first roadbike from Ray Quinceys is not contagious. Also I hope you get well soon. |

Ahhhahahaha. That's fantastic about BT. What a classic.
I looked at the ZZR's too, they were slightly more exy than the GPX. I'm thinking kwaka/honda, you can't go too wrong.
Went to Ray Quincey's on the weekend. Well, went into every shop in Eliz st. As you do when you're looking for a bike... Yeah I can't wait to get it. _________________ "whaaa whaaaaaa! |

Your chances of being killed on a motorcycle are 42 times higher (per billion passenger km) than that as a car passenger and 307 times higher than that as a rail passenger.

Nah, just interested that people are "willing to take the risk".
I'm sure they all think they are skilled enough, but it's not themselves they have to worry about. |

No, that's true enough. It's the other bastards you've got to look out for. Still, can't live life in cotton wool. |
