have said it a few times in the past...

if i had the money, id buy one to start up, rev it and then put it back in garage again... or just use it on track days..

i just dont trust other road users enough to go to 2 wheels.

I have been resisting the temptation for years to get into bikes. Lots of attractions: modern bikes are beautiful pieces of engineering, they offer staggering performance per £ and are a huge buzz to ride. BUT the accident stats are pretty horrific, and I wouldn't trust myself not to get carried away and bin it a high speed. My brother is a doctor and used to be into bikes - he gave up after a spell working in A&E where seeing bikers lives wrecked was a depressingly regular occurance.

A&E docs call bikers donors......

But a cheap track bike would be cheaper than the cheap track car I have ?
