View Full Version : Following a lightweight

Tucked in behind some dude on a lightweight bike this morning (dunno what it was, but small and nifty...). Followed him for a bit through a few corners and thence onto a straighter bit.

Bugger to keep up with through the corners. I thought the SV was reasonably nimble but this wee bike put it to shame (or maybe just me). All very well once on the straighter bits, but through the tight I had to work hard to stay with him...SV felt like a galumphing Great Dane chasing a Greyhound...

in my experience, it's usually the case of the brains on the bike rather than the bike itself.

There's a guy who rides around Glenfied on a 250cc Ninja. He seems to take every bend flat out with his knee down.

I don't try and keep up with him as it looks like such hard work. Plus I don't really like doing blind corners at such a speed.

So you mean you couldn't keep up with a cyclist that was COASTING :killingme

What you mistake for the zorst pipe was his enormous schlong being taped back so as not to get in his way. You were lucky he didn't need to go for a slash while you were behind him.

Had the same experience following some dude on a TR110 up Dominion Rd the other day. He was weaving in and out of traffic and was pretty hard to keep up with him on my RG150 (and I though my bike was light and nimble) until we got to that 70kp/h area at the end and then I just flew past him :D

I hope you guys know that SkidMark is back in Auckland.
And you know he is just the fastest thing on two wheels under 250cc.
He could have traded that old Katana of his in on a new 250 bike, miracles do happen. :2thumbsup
