Greece Lightning
Fast Bikes|September 2017

Here at Fast Bikes, we’re always on lookout for cool things to do on two wheels. So how does three days of spanking 600s around the only licensed track in Greece alongside star instructors sound for some time away? Pretty damn good in our books…

Now we’ve had our week of good weather this year, we thought it was only fitting to chase the sunshine –and scope out some of the best activities we can find on two wheels for you. So breaking the usual tradition of heading over to Spain for the standard trackday holiday, this time we headed out to Greece, to try out a brand new experience from an Italian company called Life Motorcycle. A Little bit of background: These guys (and gals) absolutely live and breathe bikes. From riding supermotos to working with the Ducati Riding Experience, the passion felt is so typically Italian –and an incredible breath of fresh air from the typical guys you meet running track events. The basis of the company isanarrive-and-drive style experience where you have the chance to ride a selection of Yamaha R6s and Honda CBR600RRs, around the only licensed race track in Greece; Serres circuit.

Heaven?

Now you might think that it sounds like any normal event, but as soon as you arrive there is an air of individuality about the whole experience; and it’s not just the fact we had Alex De-Angelis flying straight over from his World Superbike race in Misano to come spank some laps around Serres with us. For starters, they arrange a pick-up and transfer from the airport to the hotel at no extra charge; and the resort is stunning.

It's been a busy old month but so good being back in the thick of it. Despite the great British weather, it finally feels like summer is here, and I've been all over the place with some really great events since we spoke last month.

It's a long time since I had that feeling... 1057 days, to be precise, and if you were to ask if 'that day' was the day it would happen again, then I would have bet all my worldly belongings against it.

YAMAHA WABASH RT

When you live a life of wheelies, burnouts and fast laps on race tracks, it's hard to spot a midlife crisis... but six months on in the saddle of Yamaha's Wabash e-bike, I daresay that's exactly where I'm at. I'll be honest, cycling isn't for everyone, and quite frankly, Lycra is even more polarising, but for me, life on two wheels, be it powered or pedalled, has formed my staple diet for as long as I can remember.
