Learner friendly ride 21/10/06

[The_Dover]

don't joke man, no 2 was being cased out and had already tried to be lifted by the yokels when we went back the next morning with the van!!

[McJim]

T'was deep in the ditch - I remember the photo.

Dover - wotcha doin' on a Learner Friendly thread anyway? Looking for fresh victims to hurl into gijoe1313's corner?

I nearly stopped at that corner to point it out to TLDV8 on Saturday but thought that would be too cruel to gijoe1313!

[gijoe1313]

I'm quite proud of that corner I am! First bin at nana speeds on my 2nd day of riding! Wheee! Once I did that, I was happy as Larry and have never given binning a second thought again!

I'll be compiling a photo list of all the 250cc binning corners so we can have the bastiches nailed! I'm 1st in the line up!

Ahhh, I'm gutted - driving me olds down to Wellywood this weekend ... wonder if I could tack a trailer on the back of the car and have me bike and ride it! (to misquote a quote)

Have fun on the ride guys, I was actually looking forward to being Tail Gun Charley in place of McJim, I felt like mother Theresa going to aid the unfortunate (need to build up those karma points so I can do some foolish things on the racing track later on in life!)

ahhh, I luv pootling along in the 250 crowd, s'kewl and s'fun and s'stonkin' to meet ovver luverrly riders into this two wheeled vehicular thang!

Actually, you are quite helpful! Quite an introduction to how this biker thing works - helpful advice, giving me the clear visor off your old HJC lid, Goat tracking...is there no end to your talents?

[The_Dover]

i'm still working on my reach arounds.

[Maverick]

[Jeaves]

[Maverick]

It felt alot nicer with the silicon crap all over it then my old one did anyway!

I think you'd have noticed if the engine was suffering - It's a good bike - I'd have it if I didn't have the Rat-bike already - if your arse sez yes and your ears say yes then go for it....and gimme a go on it - I wanna see how much faster they are than a VTR!

[gijoe1313]

Hmmm mebbe I should buy it just to have a 250 V-twin to ride! I was considering the Spada for my first bike as well heheh
