I've just had my first ever ride on the back of a motorbike!
Despite absolutely bricking it beforehand, it was really cool and fun and now I'm on this really cool high/buzz type thing!
Ummm, I realise this isn't a very comprehensible message, but hey, I've just been whizzing around the streets of London on the back of a bike!
So, in a very vague attempt to give this post some relevance, would anyone else like to share their experiences of scary stuff that turned out to be really cool!

Yay motorbikes! I have to get one of my own! But a spin with RedWitch is very excellent for now (hint hint can I have a go on Saturday please?!)

Well, I've had a day to calm down. And I couldn't stop thinking about it! I just so wanna do it again! I think I'm turning into a Biker Chick!
Rally We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.
Hey, sounds like I could do a roaring (bad pun) trade in giving rides!
RedWitch It's the so-called 'normal' guys that always let you down. Sickos never scare me. At least they're committed.
I *would* be willing to give out goes on mine at Eclipse except I'm coming down on the train! (Found out at N2K I can't pack enough clothes & shoes and buy stuff and take it all home on the bike!)
But next time I'm heading anywhere where there's someone who wants a go I'll try & remember my spare lid. Promise. Just remind me when I'm packing.
Oh and YEAH, biking is the best thing in the world you can do with your clothes on. Even though some *expletive deleted* smacked into the back of my bike at a junction last night. Looks like I won't be able to make a party tomorrow night unless I can find a left hand footrest hanger for a zzr600 by tomorrow. Off to the local breakers later (need a lift from dad <-see! We need one!). But I still won't give up my bike.

Awww, mate! Wish you still lived near us, then we could give you a lift. Hope you got yer hanger! And hope Edgar is OK! (and not just cos I'm trying to sneak a spin!) <hugs>
Ishtar There are more important things in life to think about than shoes... but not right now.
I've never been on a motorbike at all, but I've always wanted a Harley (I know it's a cliche ), but I'm so short and wimpy that I just wouldn't be able to hold it upright! Whenever I go to the Motor Show with my dad i have to go and try them out for size, although suprisingly enough, they never get any smaller!
Has anyone seen any of the Billy Connolly series with his trike? I REALLY want one of those! And, what was it i was saying the other day, watcher girl?... Oh yes, a leather jacket with fringes on the arms, leather trousers, and boots with really high heels (not stereotypical at all, obviously! ) Well, you can't do these things by halves, can you?
My mum and i actually went to an exhibition of custom trikes a few years ago, and they were just fantastic. Even she wanted one, and she's really not a biker chick at all (understatement of the year)!
Mmmm... trikes
