[quote=nimhbus;588063]it's odd,but nobody seems to object to middle-aged men buying porsches and ferraris, even though they clearly can't drive like lewis Hamilton. But if anyone who isn't grand tour material dares to buy a ( relatively cheap) top end racing bike, they get all the bile and vitriol.
