I could post a thousand pictures because I don't really have any favorites. So here is a compilation of around 60 pics, not the fastest cars or most expensive in particular. Just pictures I took or where I was driving, just random cool car and bike stuff....  

My favorites are you next to the 3-Series, the Mini Cooper racecar driver in full gear, the vintage Aston, and of course you trail-braking on the Honda CBR in multiple shots, along with the beautiful Bimota YB9SR - what a pretty bike, especially for its t... 

Came out in 1994 , the same year the Ducati 916 hit the market. In my opinion the two most beautiful bikes ever made. Oh boy, you can't imagine the stupid stuff I did during those 4 years and 40.000 km I took it out racing on public roads.

Stories of a lifetime I suspect

.. was in 1996 in the French Alps with my CBR 600.

My favourites are the white 930 Turbo from when Porsche where still real drivers cars followed by the Mini at the race track which brings back memories of a truly insane 1380 Cooper S I had that i had real problems stopping between a set of traffic lights... 

The green Mini is a 1360 or 1380, 125 hp and herb weight of 600 kilos. I once had to follow it with an E55 5.5 AMG and could barely keep up ... on public roads off course ;-)

Wonderful collection of moments in life.

But honestly this is maybe 1/100 of what I have in my memories. So many more ! ...  

Curious about the Yellow Ducati. 748?

Picture taken a few years ago, I was amazed how slow this bike now feels. There was a bicycle race going on and they blocked the streets so I decided to 'park' the 748 in the middle of the street to take some cray pics.

Thanks for the reply. Thought it was a 748. Not sure I've ever seen a yellow 916. Great bike, SP even.

There were yellow 996, not sure if there were yellow 916 .. Getting complicated LOL

Time flies mon ami. ...  

Thinking about it I am amazed I'm still alive ... must have passed the 200 kph on the speedo at least 10.000 times LOL

My friend 'shopped' it in a way it looks ridiculous

1) Why is that man leaping over his motorcycle? 2) Isn't that a dangerous curb to be sitting on?

And the guy flying off his bike was amazing timing…but I hope he was okay afterwards.

1) Going in the corner and then going on the throttle a little bit too early. The back wheel pushes the bike while the front wheel doesn't want to cooperate yet ... it kicks you off the bike like a horse would kick you off his back. 2) No .. , no races th... 

Please purchase the new Ducati V4R or BMW S1000RR-age is just a number.

I won't chance it

Even 800cc is pushing it, but I'm willing to do the work 😉....

Aprilia RS 660 Factory

I recently saw a glowing review!! 😎👌

I must say I was very impressed ! I love it a lot and wish Ducati would bring a 100 hp sports bike. I also tried the new 120 hp V2 Panigale and Streetfighter but they are more serious .. a bit too serious still. ...  

To be perfectly honest, it would have been a more appropriate first sports bike for me to buy, but I love MVs so damn much that I couldn't help myself , now I have to wait for good timing to take it to a beginner-friendly track day in order to properly le...  

These modern bikes are actually very very easy to control, even for beginners. But pay attention to: 1. Don't get overconfident too early, learn to handle the bike fluent at a 'slow' pace. I often ride/drive pretty slow going fast .. no hesitations, fluen... 

I agree with everything you pointed out my friend, and that's precisely the reason I didn't go 'balls-out' into LA traffic. I need a suburban area or a closed circuit to 'gel' with the bike first, and only then slowly start to discover the performance env... 

You got my blessings ! Bim

Probably the most hooligan bike I've ever ridden. Totally insane honestly, the strange thing to me was the fact that I revved it till the limiter in every gear ad in full anger on some really short twisty roads without ever feeling out of control. I guess... 

I could do beter but then I would have to post another thousand pics.

That was back in 2016 at the Le Mans classic. We stopped alongside the road at a local café watching cars go by. ...  

So many so fabulous ones. Just one question, what’s the significance of the A4 Avant in one of the shots? 😊

Bought it in 2007 and still have it in the fleet, doing around 3.000 km per year . Yesterday I took it out for a drive and tried to accelerate fast ... went into limp mode. The car ow has a bit over 200.000 km and it never missed a beat or had any issues.... 

I remember it being on the old school Audi tradition of the hood rising during acceleration and practically scraping the floor when you applied the brakes vigorously 😊 But from the relatively bomb proof era of Audi 👍🏻🦾

I remember driving a lot of 2.2 and 2.3 Audi 5pots and even some 2.8 V6 as courtesy car. The sound of the 5 cilinder was just amazing. And yes, they moved a lot up and down but were quite fun to drive honestly.

During a sharp braking maneuver I thought the front was going to scrape the tarmac as much as it dove down. Like a Buick Riviera from the 1960s 😂 The S4 from the same generation was much better in this respect, the RE4 a wonderful car 👌🏻👍🏻

Winner Best Motorbike Overheard conversation: So...what’d it take? 3 to make one? Answer: Yep. ...  

Tell me more about this specific model please. Agostini bike ?

I just saw a 1977 MV750 for sale with 3000 miles on the odometer!! 😍👌

Great pics. Am especially partial to the 930s. Thanks for sharing!

The 930 is one of the all time great off course
