Get an 04 R1 and be done with it - I am

[bikerboy]

I am game for a ride if the weather cooperates. Where to?

The duc is back from the painters all shiny and bellissimo! Haldanes have tweeked the suspension, adjusted the ride heght( i can touch the ground with both feet!!) and a new sprocket to make it less high geared.

Took for a blat today and I'm in love again.

Now I'm even more confused so unless I'm offered big money for either bike I guess I'll just have to keep them both.

Sorry this is technically but he asked....sort of.

I was more referring to the fact you would be one of the few on this board who actually thinks I can ride - let alone should ride an R1

Wicked mate, you can't be taking it seriously. All the guys here are just getting a kick out of making fun of how you can't ride, thats all (I am pretty sure). I think it started from the point where your riding experience was revealed in that post where you were deciding which bike to pick for F1. But really, some people don’t get it after years and some pick up just like that in no time.

I guess its a topic such as "are you ugly or good looking" or "are you a good lover or a bad one" where it takes a reasonable amount of confidence in your self to say "yes!! I am good looking or a good lover". Likewise I think you are lacking confidence in yourself/your riding and letting others get to you. From what I hear from andy1 and KK before, you blast pretty hard and you aren’t binning it that often either.

I guess all you can do is know that you can ride and be happy with yourself or if you really have to prove yourself to you and others, go on the biggest KB ride and show what you and your R1 can do.

Thanks Moto - but I was being sarcastic - I couldn't give a rat's arse what they think in all honesty......I know I can ride - but also know there is room for improvement.  I was more taking a stab at the fuckwits who pass comment when their own abilities are the flashest either.  It is also interesting WHO revealed my experience - loser.

Still looking at racing F1 - I know people who have been riding 20 years and still have chicken strips inches wide.....ask anyone who rides with me how long they THINK i've been riding......versus my actual experience - the two aren't correlated directly.

I get on my bike to push the limits - not to get from A to B....I enjoy riding coz it affords me those challenges - people bagging me just make me more determined.  I know I will bin the bike at some stage as I am not trying to ride within my limits - and the only way to find them is to push past them.....

And most of all - I love EVERY MINUTE I am on the bike! Fuck em all - unless they are teaching me to race!!!
