    last name is "Ross" so it's stuck like glue since i was a kid.

    I don't even answer to my first name in work or with mates lol.

    But i do like Motocross. Infact i'm on the hunt for a new MX bike

    I have no idea what that is to be honest lol !!

    I've never been a fan of "big bikes" as they freak me out at speed. One of my closest friends works for a Suzuki dealership as head mechanic. He has a Suzuki GXR 1000 and he took me out last year in the summer.

    I $hat myself when he decided to pop a 130mph wheelie and have never been on one since lol.

    I've had a few GSXR600's, the 1000cc is amazing though, my Ducati would have kept up though :D (I think)

    I'm happy for you lol!

    I'll personally stick to Motocross. I'm after a Suzuki RM 250 at the mo.

    Too many 4-stroke mx bikes these days. Can't beat the sound of a good 2-stroke mx bike on full chat in the power band. makes my hairs stand up lol!!

    I had a Husquarvarna TE610E once, that was quite fun up to 30mph, but then it vibrated too much on my wrist that I broke in a motorbike accident lol

    lol

    I've been lucky so far. Road a DT125 for years on the road with no bad accidents. A car pulled out on me once and i got thrown over the bonnet but i walked away with no scratches just bruising.

    In the 10 years i've been doing motocrosss i've never hurt myself once. (touch wood)

    But i will still stick to 4 wheels on the road as i've got a lot more protecting me
