    It's a replica of the early RS125 GP bike.

    I remember being in a taxi once driven by a South Asian gentleman who delighted in pushing along someone on a postie bike who I assume was flat out.

    Took it on the freeway again today. Have to say I had a hard time keeping up with a Toyota hi-ace van speeding up on the on ramp which has a great decline It can and does just scrap up to 100kph. I was ****ing myself laughing getting up to 100 that slowly. In the dog box with the sisters for riding again I pic of me today

    Every day the evasive action is noted. Yesterday was a P plater turning right 400 metres before traffic light where I was turning. He reconsidered and pulled back into the traffic traveling at 70kph. My almost front wheel stand stopped me JUST. The day before it was a Ute coming the other way turning in front of me. The day before......... No PTSD, I cannot see how it is possible to avoid cars with zero consideration for life for ever. My reflex are great. Just a moments laps in my concentration and I would have been in real trouble in each of the daily events. I have no wish for death or the immense pain I copped last time I had an unavoidable 80kph solid hit. Disco is back- Bike is for sale. Sadly as I love riding and will miss the $2 per week at most running cost. Suspect it will be delivering food for many happy people soon

    I’ll keep my litre bike thanks Come in spinner- 2015 honda CBF  125 even if I did get wet riding home the other day Come in spinner- 2015 honda CBF  125

    And yes, avoiding the cagers with their blinkers on can be tiring. Lucky for me traffic density here is a mere fraction of what you deal with. When I ride to Adelaide the threat level escalates accordingly though.

    For getting through the traffic down there though it’s hard to beat!

    Bikes are a fabulous form of transport, and an absolute pleasure to ride, but definitely not without their risks.
    Unfortunately in any incident, it's usually the motorcyclist that is on the losing end of the bargain.
    So many negligent drivers on the roads that seem to either ignore, or have minimal consideration for road rules, and other road users.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Just at the Chemist behind a guy on crutches. The chemist asked what injury and he told her his pelvis got smashed. Poor guy clearly did not have good an outcome as my titanium reinforced version. Quick chat later and he was like me, taken out by failure by another driver to give way - his was at 60kph. Not often I feel sorry for people. I recall the pain from being rolled every four so intently. I am off all meds- He will likely be on them for the rest of his life poor bugger.

    Bring on Self driving or autonomous braking for cars to help avoid that carnage
