    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I got the call, that whitetrash had got his ass on a gixxer thou. This promted me to make a call of my own, "bring it round here bro, I gotta have a go!"
    First impresion: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is quick.
    Second impresion: I haven't even gone past six grand.
    Third: That was a cool wheelie, shit I put the wheel down at around 200k's
    Conclusion: I FUCKIN WANT ONE!!!!!!
    Moral of the story, we all think we can handle it, but we all know deep down, the truth, and want it even more 'cos we like the challenge.
    I want one more than any other bike on the planet. I probly can't ride it to it's potetial, but it is gonna be fun trying.
    Maybe it's a good thing my finances wont stretch that far.
    End of the day, we all want something dangerous to play with, thats the thrill of these hyperbikes.

    With Motogp going to 800cc soonish - Maybe a new market will open up?
    After all - everyone wants to be like Rossi - Gibo etc...
    Because I can...

    To be honest, anything over 140kph scares me which is why I'm quite content to own a 52bhp, 400cc bike. It has hit 140k a few times but generally I'm quite happy to toodle along at 110k to 120k and enjoy the scenery.
    I think 140kph is my unconscious limit because at that speed I know things that are outside of my control can wipe me out without me even having time to react ... like that bloody cat that ran across infront of me while I was leant into a nice sweeper at 140k a few years back. In that 2 seconds before I got to the cat all I had time to do was realise I couldn't brake or change lines and I just had to let whatever was going to happen, happen.

    So....

    Maybe a 55hp Moto Guzzi with demerit limiting power, hero preventing braking and handling that could take another 30bhp thats got enough character to make you feel like Biggles at 120 yet is cheap to run and a piece of piddle to maintain might just not be so daft after all?

    Wadda ya know... I'm so old fashioned I'm ahead of my time!
