interesting thread this.

Wonder if there is any data to support that guys who ride are better pilots? or guys who fly make better riders?

I know one thing, riding a bike has made me very safe car driver.
we say judge a pilots skill by how he lands his craft? I say judge a rider by how he can gooi a wheelie...so by all accounts mr JB on this forum must be a very good Pilot :lol:

below are my two babies that have very different personalities :wink:

From Vespas to Harleys. Great mix of toys. Some lekker stories here making me smile.

Doesn't seem to be much space left in Gregs garage for a pool table. He'll need to move that car out. :twisted:

I Added this terrifying thing to my list of bikes, man it took almost a year to get and I must say these small men who build designer shoes have done a real great job! Got it on Monday and have only done about 60Km with it, but so far I must say Im very impressed, one could only imagine how John Boucher would gooi a wheeli with this? :lol:
