Years ago when I first found the firestorm site through MCN group and then this site...we all met up at Arrow Mill hotel, 47 storms all on full throttle...............brill...............but later on the way home one guy was killed in RTA...........

So please before we all go mad in the sun, lets remember those who have lost someone on the road.

Last year we had 281 bikers killed on the roads of Essex I find this horrendous. Lets remember them all especially when we feel the adrenalin kicking in.

Live long ride free.

I almost did the same to a mate of mine on the back a few years ago. I was in the middle lane doing seventy, dropped a gear and pulled out, and the next thing I new his feet were under my armpits and his head was pointing at the ground behind the bike

He pays a bit more attension and holds on now

Thirty years ago yesterday (12th) I started the day with my normal working day as an aircraft enginner and then went on to a second evening job.
By 11.15pm I have been changed forever by having a broken neck where my helmet connected with the Armco.
Take care Guys and Gals!

Note the imminent pain about to be experienced in this first picture and the definite pain in the second!!!

sorry guys, Ive just come back from Sri lanka .no one but no one wears protective gear, the place is a bikers nightmare, riding there needs a level of concentration that has to be experienced, but no one rides at a ton or more , they get aboutat 40 plus and they all wear lids ......... nothing better than a pair of shorts a good lid ,nice pair of gloves ,decent boots, and best of all sweet pair of suglasses,.....gentlemen start your engines..........jet
