An unrestricted Yamaha FS1E. The nuts it gave me! It was my first freedom to roam and annoy the neighbours. Worst bike: I've had enough rubbish, but I always carry some gaffer tape and my adjustable hammer and somehow get home. Most Embarrassing Bike: A Yamaha Pasola with basket. Sexiest bike: A Spondon to my own spec. Speed is cool, but a Spondon will always stand out in a crowd. Street fighters are sexiest when they are done well. Best bike you ever rode: I am still waiting to abuse my position in the band to get my hands on something really bad! Present bike: Honda CBR900 FireBlade in Repsol colours and a 1957 Lambretta LD150. Bike you'd most love to ride: A police bike so I could nick all the w*****s who piss me off every day on the road. Or any bike that would allow me to achieve my ambition of doing 200mph. When did you start riding? I started on waste ground on old made-up bikes when I was about 10 years old. I was hooked for life. What bike would you buy if money was no objects? One of each, but fiddled to my spec. Then I would have a bike for all occasions. You did say money was no object! What do you use your bike for? Going as fast as I possibly can. Favourite road: Any without speed cameras or cops. Fastest you've been on a bike: 170.3mph. That extra 0.3mph matters. What do you think of car drivers? Cool if they're fast enough. Have you ever crashed? Yes, an unlucky 13 times! Best biking moment: All the times when it just flows. You know, sunny day, hot road and the Devil himself driving. A track day in the pissing rain got my ass flapping, too. Most embarrassing moment on a bike: Most crashes get you blushing, but turning into a mate, thinking we were going into a garage, was pretty bad. My brother and his mates were watching. Describe the way you ride: Erratic. You know how it is - you give a man a bike and he thinks he can take on the best. I just have fun. |
