250cc Owners Ride Sunday 16th April 2006

[SixPackBack]

To be honest, I have more fun on my 250 (or 150's) than any 600 etc... I wouldn't mind one end of this year but a 250 is enough bike for me and probably will be for a very long time. And they hold their own in the twisties anyway

Poof ..............

I think that illustrates my point better than anything I could say.

Spoken like a true gent/diplomat Ixion............there are however, a few on here with lower cc bikes that think they are a cut above most others, they somehow leave themselves wide open for friendly fire, i also think that what SPB said had some truth, any 250 rider would like to step up, in a heartbeat, and im not knocking any smaller cc motorcycle, there are ppl on bigger bikes that think the same way as those i spoke about earlier, it can all get a bit segregated sometimes.. wheres Nelson Mandela ?........

SPB are you just in here to take the piss out of 250 riders? If so just give it a rest and move onto another thread.

Hell you getting all serious on us bitch hips

they are 250 "L'' plate riders, yeah some think they know it all, but come on we know diffrerent, they will learn later on.

but it was a ride aimed at 250 riders and i told everyone to turn around as the weather was shit it poured, not rained pissed down. and i know the roads and was not interested in picking up a rider/s off the tar. they are bloody twisty and slippery it was not worth it. and when out with some "L"'s leaving the my balls are bigger than your at home is a good thing. i want them to have a good ride.

[N4CR]

Not everyone there was an L plate rider some of us are quite close to getting full liscences etc, cheers for the lift on the big honda though T.I.E

edit: spb go rub your bike down or something...

and i gotta say its more of a challenge riding a 250 than a thou. riding a bigger bike is easier, easier to pass cars etc. i found it harder riding a 250 having to think more about what i can do/ or can't. trying to pull up hills etc.
riding my cbr is way easier than my old 250 gpx, but i had more fun on that as it was a challenge.

Good call on the day my man. Why? We were there.

I quite like riding a small bike, especially when up against larger ones, you have to work at it. On a big bike it's easy to use the power to compensate for lazy technique - not meaning any offence ot anyone, just that on a 250 if you mess the corner up and come out slow you really notice it and curse because it means laboriously picking up that speed again. Whereas on a 750 you just tweak the throttle a bit harder and think nothing of it.

And N4CR is correct that it was not a newbie ride - but on such a ride the organisers must assume that there will be some inexperienced riders , and decisions such as continuing in the rain must be based on the least skilled , not the most skilled or even the average. The rain call off was the right decision in the circumstances,

i have become very lazy on the thou. so i know what ya mean, maybe i should have taken up the offer to ride the 250.

and the rain well dam i got soaked. took ages to finally dry off. but i hate wearing the wet weather stuff. and the undies didn't dry off till i got home, and not from wetting myself either
