No problem. Whatever else you feel about what they do, it's difficult not to feel GOOD.

Absolutely. I,m a bit of a romantic where bikes are concerned. Watch a Blitz type video and I have a head full of dreams and ambition....most if turns to dust and regret.....we should all dream. :D

She's some well know French racer.
Can't remember her name, but she is highly respected.
She was hired to endorse Davida helmets.
Preconceptions aye
:lol:


Don't believe it. She just doesn't have 'it' whatever 'it' is she just doesn't look the type at all.

Using my phone and missed the rest of the thread. Turns out you were joking around. I didn't think she was be a racer, she just doesn't look right for it and that not to say attractive women don't or can't ride bikes. She just doesn't look to have that extra spark of something that would make her a motorcycle rider. I got all that from a photograph btw. :-)

No, she's good looking alright but she doesn't look interesting.

This is one of my favourites, from when I first started to get into biking. Sums up how fearsome the old two strokes were.

I remember reading an article where the photographer said he had the wrong lens with him, so while all the other track photographers were zoomed in, he was the only one who got the pic. He said that one pic made him a great deal of money.
