My motorcycling bucket list
Joerg Mitter // Red Bull Content Pool
The bucket list. Things you?ve got to do before you kick the bucket. It?s something a lot of people put a lot of thought into, and I?m one of those people. In fact I?ll often daydream about what I want to do, the things I want to make happen and whether or not I can do it. When I?ve discussed my ?bucket list? with friends, some have regarded many of the items on there as overly ambitious. But I think that?s the point, isn?t it" Aim high, and all that.
Now, I?ve already ticked off a few things on my motorcycling bucket list (race at the Isle of Man TT, finish a Le Mans 24hr race, ride 1,000 miles in a day), but there are still a few to get through. So to give you some inspiration to set yourself a few goals and to aim high, I thought I?d share a few of the bits left on my biking bucket list.
200mph
If I?m being perfectly honest, I don?t know if I?ve ever done 200mph on a bike before. I know I?ll have been close, but that?s not good enough. I?m sure I?ll have ridden some bikes that would have been capable of it, and I?ve definitely ridden some that, according to their speedos, have managed 200mph with me onboard. But we all know how unreliable most factory fitted speedos are, so until I?ve officially done 200mph, it?s staying on the list.
The worry is this though. I know full well that the day I do officially travel at 200mph on a motorbike, all I?ll be doing is shifting the goalposts. I?ll want to do 210mph, then ...
