It's a nice road unless a car decides to cut the corner on the first left-hand hairpin = Chisanga

note to self: do not buy that cbr 250,

his lines are fine, but dusn't he know how to change gear, generally you wanna change before the poor bike is bouncing off the limiter....

it looked like he gave it more tit when they went past the stopped bike
"showing off"

showing off is how you end up coming off, / blowing up your engine from bouncing it off the limiter,

i'm all for riding fast and having fun(everybody knows that) , but don't kill the bloodey bike.

and completely blind corners youve got to take some care, car could be broken down round the corner etc.

then ur proper fucked.

**1vanvan1** · 25th April 2007, 18:26

Well if there as a break down around the corner the person who owns the car would be a bit of a tosser not to put out one for those warning triangles or sumthing so that people can slow down for it. A risk you take i guess.

And about the rev limiter. They are there to stop the bike blowing up lol and atleast it only happened once.

ur mistaken mate sure as hell wouldn't have been me?

i would never ever ever overtake on a blind coner f**k that and a bag of chips.

is this mark from cycletreads?.

i will come in at some point i'm gunna trust you about the bridgestones you use and trust they are as good as you say they are, if not back to the holy gpr's.

honestly mate are you sure it wasn't when nz liam owned the zxr, i would honestly i shit you not never overtake on blind corners.

i only went on one ride to kaiaua that i recall and that was the one when spank lost his number plate, but i was out front with them, and i reme,mber you saying at the chip shop that you left late and still caught up, sure as hell wouldn't have been me overtaking on blind corners mate, honestly screw that.

That is Rich coming from you mark.

I'll tell you one thing. from vids of him and you, he's a better rider than you'll ever be....

**1vanvan1** · 25th April 2007, 21:35

When you went on that ride to Kiaua it was with that dude with the brand new red 675?

And you were wearing thoose old as leathers.

And when you pulled upto the BP station where we meet u came flying in and did a stoppie

And you were on your ZXR250

Correct?

**criticmbs** · 25th April 2007, 21:39

it sure was you. liam was riding a brand new daytona 675. You in your retro leathers?? i had the gsx nd my mate had the cbr.we were behind you until you overtook on a blind corner in one of the really tight twisties and got away from us..... then boasted that you managed to get away! dont forget were not all as brave as you are. we couldnt overtake because of all the blind corners. ring any bells
