get around?

If you'd seen a black CB500 with a black leathered and black visored pilot (only one in accy/bburn area) that'll be me.

Haven't been around last few years though since my big crash on Haslingden Old Road (the one that goes over the moors past the Britannia)

You'll see me around soon as I get my 'storm.

I'll keep my eye out for you...you'll have to let me know when you get ya Storm so i can keep my eye out for you on that.

That junction is a bugger !!!! nearly come off there myself a few times...its a blind exit from Guide.

nah, mine wasn't at the usual crash junction on that road - further up, one of the farm owners pulled out of a field.

I'll keep an eye out for 'storms while I'm out in the car. Don't get paranoid if you see a red citroen honking at ya

Verry well, if memory serves.
Here's a little tip (only if your starting to feel cocky with it

)
Leave it in first and quickly rip the throttle open at about 4.5 k.
I bet it will make your heart jump into your mouth and your eyes bug out of your head

P.S keep your other hand over the clutch if you try it....just in case
