The Blackbird looks fatter but

Have you had your eye's checked lately I don't think so

Actually I have, less than a month ago and am wearing the latest prescripation (puts me at equivalent 40/40 vision). How about you Look at the photos taken of them head on. The BB appears to be fatter IMHO, if not they are the same

As for the 250 guys patting themselves on the back for being so fast. Well its easy to ride bikes that are light and don't need to slow for corners. Maybe the should try a powerful bike like the "busa" and see what happens when a handful of throttle applied at the wrong time can do between two slow corners.

But what a great ride.

Thanks for the support guys, I knew some of you would understand.........

By the next ride, hopefully I will have that horrible Battlax off my front tyre and a yummy Mitch Pilot Sport on instead. Nothing more worrying than a dodgy front.

[Qkchk:Me]

im not interested in the shit slinging you guys
so if everyones to fast or focused to ride with the slower big bikes with older slower riders sort your own rides out
i enjoy my ridein out there and keep a eye on everyone
i organised a ride round the loop for club suzuki in 1991 ish
we made the front page of the herald 4 ambulances 13 casualties one poor guy ended on the rocks just outta thames with his thy bone through his leathers
is this the type of ride you want to go on
if so dont turn up to a ride i organise
as im not interested

Finally, someone with some sense. I'll come out for a ride with you anyday Yoshi....

For whats its worth, i think as a group [upon reflection] we were often going a little hard.........particularly in the 80 and 50 zones.
On two occasion's i witnessed there were local's standing on the side of the road shaking fist's. Guy's if we piss them of to much the cop's will do something about it.....[ i count myself guilty, and will be altering my behaviour]
Might get more of my high speed fix at the track where it belong's in future.

[bugjuice]

just force yourself to ease up thru the zones in the towns.. there's plenty of open roads out of the towns. Last thing we want to do is piss off the peeps, else it'll wreck a wicked ride.

[justsomeguy]

Theres a guy here on a old 84 XJ 900 who would go around the outside most of you.

well if you knew how to keep to a line and not be a danger to fellow rides i would have passed you 5 ks back as thats where we almost came off but you were to busy tryin to prove a point rideing all over the road like a truck and trailer unit hence the wide birth you got after that but
no need to turn up to ride with me again as id hate to hold you up

Mate, you do not what lines are, LOL.

And, you do not know what fast is, you think you do, but you don't. "tryin to prove a point"?, if you knew fast road riding you would know i was far from being aggressive. A good rider on a GSXR1000 should leave me for dead any where, and should have no problems overtaking my 90hp (if i'm lucky) VTR. It was obvious you're a bit scared to twist that throttle thou, so if you did, you know i would be right behind you.

WORSE RIDER?, mate, you need to take a look at yourself. I think it's a case of a shitty old VTR showing you up

Give that man a modern bike, and he will show everyone up.

[SPman]

He's certainly impressive to follow - and his tyres seem so skinny!

naah - Rossi will still kick his butt.....

You ever see him hanging off or sticking his knee out?? Does it all perched in an armchair position.....

This threads turning out to be more fun than the ride.

Sixpack does this mean instead of 250KmH in a 50 zone you will knock it back to a sedate 220KmH. After you went past in to Coromandel the locals where all lookin skyward wondering if the Air Force had let a Skyhawk loose.

im not suprised the lady was pissed of and to be honest the smaller bikes were the worst
