Having actually raced professionally (or semi-professionally as you

stupid on anything that moves.
I didn't realise I could claim that I'd raced even semi-professionally
until you mentioned that all it takes is that you're given equipment.
Count me in!
Still, I've raced & trained with paid professional cyclists, and most of
them are faster than me descending around corners.

I rode for Kawasaki on a 250 cc two stroke disk valve road racer. That is a bit faster than a bicycle.
Huh. I used to own a 350cc Kawasaki two stroke rotary (disc) valve bike.
1970 Avenger A7, IIRC.
Not that I was ever a racer. On a motorcycle I'm pretty careful and
conservative.
