Bikes and Choppers

This is my roadbike; a 2001 Fireblade. She's very fast and handles amazingly. I also have a 1980 Yam DT400M Trailbike. She threw me off last year and is the only bike to have damaged me in 36 years...

Downed R44

I am glad the pilot is not seriously hurt. But I'm bit sick that GYIIK has been destroyed - I only sold her a month or so ago and she was a great ship.
