On the original theme of the thread this virus thing does make me nervous, my Mum is also ill and in the at risk group, probably like lots of all of your family and friends

My bike is shiny enough already, probably wants some tlc... But I am itching to wind it open on a decent road, like a scratch you cannot reach

They are like the Scooby or XR3i owners of the bike world.
Always gotta be noisy, always got a story of 180mph wheelies etc.
Cut them and they bleed Blue and white. There are no other bikes in the world for a gixxer owner.

Can usually be found hanging out in the docks waiting for the sailors to come home too. =))

Unlike MV owners looking into a carrier bag of rust . :-bd
Gixers loved by vegetarians as that's where they're usually found.

Back when I started riding (cue Hovis music, fade to monochrome), the wisdom (or urban legend, whatever) was that KH250 riders only had three brain cells. Gixxer riders are the modern incarnation of the KH250 riders of my yoof...

GSXRs go marginally further before they brake down.
