Took a mate out today for a ride and some photos since it was sunny, it's amazing what you run into when you don't know where you're heading.

Sorry they're not all bike related but I thought they were cool enough anyway Laughing We also popped into Silverstone and saw a few lambos bombing it around, but I won't bore you with those pics, tanks are much better Very Happy

Its got rubber on the tracks so it doesn't eat the road. It's also got lights, indis and a camera for a rear view 'mirror'. Still, bet it's dangerous.

I wonder what the insurance on that would be for an 18 year old lad? Twisted Evil
