Whats the most bestest coolest 10sec's you've ever had on your bike

[ric007]

Mine is coming over Arthur's pass in the pouring rain an getting to Klondike corner and the road is dry sky's blue a shit load of snow on the mountains.the last 2 left right curves in the road an it's out cross the waimak plain full noise (just for a bit) does anybody else scream woo hoo under there helmet?

[AllanB]

Oh - I thought from the title it was a sexual question ........... my bad.

[R6_kid]

My first ever wheelie on my old R6 - mainly because it was unexpected and at first it felt like I was flying.

[Zuki lover]

It was 11.2 and it was on the drag strip............

[ready4whatever]

havnt had a real fun 10 seconds on a bike, its a 250. as for offroad, would be a table top jump

[smokeyging]

Oh - I thought from the title it was a sexual question ........... my bad.

A 10 sec naughty. now thats fast....

[smokeyging]

Probably 2 secs for me. i came over a brow of a hill and bugger me theres a bull standing in the middle of the road. all i had time to do was stand on the pegs, over the top of the bull, the bike hit his front quarters and killed both the bike and bull, heres the road going down hill, i’m still going up, looking down and thought, this might hurt. eventually i hit the ground and must have skidded on my bum for a good 100 metres still screaming down the hill, that probably took more than 10 secs. i don’t want to ever go through that again, i’m thankful i’m still kicking.

[CookMySock]

Hrm probably when I picked up my 650. I'd never ridden such a thing, and pulling out onto the motorway was a combination of terror, awe, fear, exhilaration.. you name it, it was all there. Fooken brilliant. I found out what a dry mouth was - never had one before. Ever.

yea i forgot to allow for harley riding viagra indulging in which 10 secs is a dream either to last that long or get to the legal speed limit in under

[phantom]

Screaming over the top of this pile of metal down at the local quarry on my CB125 only to find that they had cut away the other side and it was about a 25 foot ( fuck off, it was the 70's and we didnt have metric then, oh buggar , yes we did ) to the bottom. Kept it upright , just , and have fathered children since then ( think they are mine ), so the bruising was just superficial

[Oakie]

Riding through a part of the Lewis Pass with big trees and vegetation all around. Tree branches seemed to reach over the road. Must have been a combination of quiet bike, wind direction and the roadside vegetation sucking up the noise but for a while there was just no noise. Dead quiet. Yet I was rolling at about 100kph and it felt like I was flying. Quite spiritual. I remember saying "Wow" out loud in my helmet.

RG150
Doing air time (170kph) on old tauranga rd - engine blew up 30 sec later.

GB400
Pulling up next to a harley and my bike was louder

FZ1
Sliding the rear under power, on every corner - setting the pace for Dad on the daytona

[Big Dave]

Well I have to kinda agree about arthur's pass. we did it once when there was 4 inches of rain in greymouth. the falls and the ride up in the tempest was truly exhilarating.

The best almost 10 seconds on someone else's bike was at the V-max launch. Me, the Ed and a new 200hp Max had the keys to Meremere dragway, all on our own.

[racefactory]

no one has mentioned first time knee down yet, no one remembers that? got to be getting the old knee down the first time, feeling so low to the ground, the scraping.

heavy braking on the vfr400 from 180kph in the rain, banging it down the gears having the rear slide about, v4 wailing- what a rush.

[vifferman]

Hmmmmm...
The very first time I rode a bike (Yamaha 90) was pretty kewl - just got on and rode.
First ride on a motocross bike (KX250) was kewl too - but was scary fast.
Riding a race-prepped RD350 (fastest in NZ at the time) had me shaking when I got off.

All that was in the '70s, and nothing since has been as noteworthy.

Best 10 seconds on my bike?
Dunno.
Probably riding it out of the dealership, as the excitement of each first ride on one of my bikes was a bit special. But it might have been the satisfaction of riding it again after six weeks break.

[lostinflyz]

the first lap of ruapuna after i had picked up my new fireblade an hour or so before. Wondering what the fuck happened to the space time continuium.

Nah. I'd shit myself if I did that.

[ernie953]

After owning all 2 strokes and trading in an H2 750, riding out of the dealers shop on a new Z1 900. Man, that was the coolest.

[gijoe1313]

The first time I swung my leg over to sit on my lil'ol'hornet ... had to drive all the way out to Whitianga on the Coro to view it (no other hornets around at that time) .

In that first 10 secs ... I had to have it! :drool: :woohoo: didn't even haggle ... just said "you got access to internet banking?"

[MyGSXF]

Too many to choose from.. & I say yeeeferkinhaaaaa!!!! rather than woohoo... :rolleyes:

[NighthawkNZ]

Every time I put the key in and push the start button...

[boman]

I had alot of 10seconds in a row, last weekend, riding SH22 up from Waingaro through to Mercer. Every corner for 60+ km. YEEEEfarkingHAAAA.

[McJim]

All the fun I've had on my bike tends to last for hours - not seconds.....a bit like sex I suppose.....

[Smorg]

Getting on my first big cc bike and flooring it... Boom!

ha ha ... HD turns gasoline into noise without the side effeccts of horsepower!

[Conquiztador]

There has been many bikes. And there has been many 10 seconds. Too many to mention here.

But a small selection:

- When, at 16, I rolled out my Royal Enfield Meteor Minior Sport 500 Twin from the shop floor.

- When in Italy on my 750 Bonny the cutest girl on the beach jumped on my bike and told me that she wanted to ride with me.

- Riding my Panhead chop in the snow and ice in December in Sweden and overtaking at 160k/h a police car that had no chance to catch me!

- On my Java 897 speedway solo bike outgating 2 riders with later model bikes who made a living out of riding.

- On my K100 riding on Pourerere beach while lowtide and on rockhard flat sand with nobody else in sight at full stop!

Getting on my first big cc bike and flooring it... Boom!

Wasn't my bike, but jumping on a warmed up tl-s that I had dreamed of buying and twisting the throttle to the stop nearly hitting red line in top..

A little more than 10 sec but christ, what a cacophony, what a rush.

[Fatt Max]

A 10 sec naughty. now thats fast....

Dont knock it mate, for me that includes foreplay and smoke after....

[Skyryder]

Many years ago I was riding my Tiger on the Summit Road in a small group. There was a long left hand sweeper, no oncoming traffic so I gunned it. What I did not know was the cattle stop just as the sweeper was approached prior to leaning the bike over. I hit the stop with speed and this caused me to bounce of the seat and in doing so reduced the time for the lean into the sweeper. this delay caused me to overshoot the bend. The bike went into a speedway slide with the back wheel on the gravel verge, on the wrong side of the road, and the front on the hard seal. I was lucky enough to come out unscathed. Those behind me who saw this claimed it was one of the best pieces of riding they had ever seen. In actual fact I had no control over this whatsoever. To this day I can still experiance the total fear of exhileration. Never again would I make that mistake but the thrill of that fear is an experiance I still miss to this day.

Oh - I thought from the title it was a sexual question ........... my bad.
hahaha.

If it was sexual he would have said 25 seconds and not 10.

[Romeo]

It's yet to come..

Closest I've come was pinning the throttle on a 45hp IL4 250cc for the first time, 40kph-100kph. A bit of a mind rush stepping up from a 17hp CB175!
