My 1987 fzr1000 genesis awaits a swingarm pivot shaft liner. Bout £60 worth. Be done for summer proper. It's a genuine beast, 160+. I've nailed it to the stop many times. Terrifies the kak out of mere mortals. Eats £30g sports cars for breakfast. Also have sr250, a tidy little thing, and very underrated. Have owned/ridden shedloads in past 28 yrs riding, all sizes, most makes. I do all my own work. Prefer Japanese. I don't pray for safety, I rely mostly on instantaneous reaction and anticipation. And competent spannering. I've taken more risks than I could count, have never had a landing I couldn't walk away from, and have accomplished long, fast rides solo that have had more experienced riders picking their jaws up off the floor. No shit. My favourite game is heavy traffic. How risky is that? I've had some small experience of risk-assessment. If I risk assesed I'd never get on one. No one would. Faith is what keeps me riding, not what I rely on. I accept that my fate is out of my hands sometimes, and entrust my life to a greater purpose. Because I Love it.
And anyway, Moses had a Triumph, didn't he?
So in short, you say "fuck it" and twist the throttle.
I do my own work as well, I mostly ride my friend's bikes, a Honda CBR600, custom bobber, and Yamaha R6. Also rode around on a Ninja 750 with an overbore and larger carbs. I'm saving up for an Aprilia 1000 RSV or a Triumph 3-cyl.
I mean risk assessment before an accident or a fall if it's possible. If the options are go under a truck or hit the grassy field, you making a choice based on risk is what I'm talking about.
Moses had machine guns, too. Him and Jesus lit the Pharaoh up.
My ride is a 2007 Yammie FZ1,
Yoshi TRC slip-on, Power commander III K&N filter, Galfer S/S brake lines plus heaps of other bits.
I've seen 275ks on the speedo, you know you're motoring at that speed.
Jesus had a honda ct110 fitted with 7.62 miniguns

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
