Biker Pilots??
Curious as to how many pilots ride motorcycles? It seems that a lot of the flyers I know own bikes. Anyone???

Yep, I ride a Classic (1988) ZX10 on sunny days. Can't wait to get home and take it for a blast.

campained the New Zealand superbike championship 1999 on a Aprillia RSV (10th overall), still got the bike but as an ag pilot self presivation is a good quality to have but not if you want to win motorbike races!

Reddo

You have too much time off, your bike is far too clean, you must be on a part time fleet like the Hawker.

You should the state of my Kwaka, I'll take a photo and post when I get home from ICT!

Capt Crash,
Note the sunshine, the photo was taken in Sydney.

Part time? Good guess for the fleet.

............Powerfull bewdy
Honda CT125, the power is a bit much at times so I just stick to third gear. The rack is good for carrying all that pilot gear like pilots bag, pilot shirts, pilot watch, pilot sunglasses.

My BMW F650 takes me to work in half the time that I need with a car especially at the high-traffic times and at the current fuel prizes getting 50 miles to the gallon helps!

Couldn't get the picture pasted in
