Default Bored of cars/cossies

I went out on the back of a mates R1 on tuesday, and I realized how much I want a bike again ,I have had my licence 7 yrs now and never had a bike I am thinking about a GSX-R 750 or a ducati 996, I have no bike no-claims but I don't really care how much the insurance is , as the cossie is nearly a grand anyway , anyone know of any good bike insurers plz??
and is there any way to get interested in fast cars again??

but you can't wheelie a cossie I'm just pissed off with the constant ŁŁŁŁ needed to run a cossie, bikes cost fook all in comparison, only thing is more tyres/chains etc but no hassle
the big power cos will still happen, just getting hacked off spending Ł200 a week on fuel anyway radders, will be back at work soon so can arrange a beer 1 night if u want?

I know what you mean about aging fast cars. I used to my RS but if I came back to the UK I'd have to get something like that as a second car. Bikers are known locally as organ donors round here and not without good reason. Get the bike if you have to but get a fun car too.
