    I dont care what I ride provided its got good tyres. Ill be there racing no matter what the bike. Im not like all the other soft cocks that have a fist full of excuses and are just pussies that dont wanna get beaten

    Im gonna race the HP2 next round and I dont reckon ill come last. Telelever suspension, shaft drive, horizontal twin in bone stock road trim 100hp atw remove the lights fit some slicks lets go riding! It doesnt matter what you have or have not got its how much you turn the throttle.

    It sure is fun! The only problem is that on right hand corners you dont have much lean angle plus you need to stay away from curbs because the engine picks up the front haha

    If you go under 1.17 you'll get pushed out of clubmans.

    What does it all mean?

    crazy man
    money money money money money

    Start an online anonymous storage facility and charge each user a small fee. 1 million users at $5 equals $5M. Then pay the CEO aka crazy man 4M then go bust and close down before the slow wheels of justice run you over.

    Based on this order I would say that a low mileage second hand beatup 600 would fit the bill

    Prozac first,then $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Assuming Prozac is not a banned substance and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is your preference retirement from racing to a Suspension Tuners position sounds in order. And if you don't you could give your Prozac to let me think...

    Sounds like you will never be really happy with anything less than this years model Superbike fitted with all the good shit . Your preceding post suggests you are in denial of this...
