!

Had a good ride with you though cause although my bike probably could actually keep up with the ZX10R's, R1's and ZX14's of this world, I wasn't too keen in tryin

Hey ... Doesnt matter if sum people dont wait I know there will be people who will wait anyhow not all peeps here are muppets though there are a few as I have come to c... so if the rest dont want to wait doesnt bother me at all.. but u did wait, so cheers to u, also for the beer

Also I dont think its v mature to analyse every single detail I say on here... a bit of exageration doesnt really matter (its an online forum for petes sake Il say what I like !!)... not everythin should be put under a microscope... im quite happy the way I ride... not saying that I couldnt do 260 and keep up but hey if I stay behind trust me it is by choice and a little bit of self restraint too ... I like my life and license and would like to live a nice and long one

cheers for ur input anyhow brah... but sum peeps just comment on everthin n im starting not to even bother anymore lol. Peace Raj. Ride Safe n look forward to ridin with u again soon.

Ps: the litre bikes I was so referin to werent the guys I rode with on that ride... but was actually refering to non kb members who I ride with like almost every second day... theyre not even from here... but hey..

Can't say I disagree with any of what you say and no probs for the beer...although I thought it prudent to add my 2 cents worth as some of the 'others' that were riding that day commented to me about this thread and how you had said things that weren't exactly accurate.

By all means don't stop posting just be aware that others will read what you say and may or may not take it to heart... after all we are all just human

look forward to our next excursion.

I didnt know we were only supposed to post 100% accurate facts up here or not at all... I dont go about browsing and quoting web sites mate u know... just not me... but anyhow like I said no doubt those riders were good and offered a few good tips too ... and ofcause all their input was duly accredited and appretiated truly was... but I wasnt referin to them?pm me hence forth coz this will be my last post on this particular thread. Cheers.

YamahaR64Life, are you a twin??

**McJim** · 7th June 2007, 20:43

What fun - Raj - don't be too offended mate - the post you took offence to was actually trying to be helpful.

there are a load of different ways to deal with cornering - go on the RRRS course and get your arse on a track day (then you'll meet the REAL fast boys - not just the 'Brisk' folks like Karma and Gremlin).

Apparently I have 53hp and I don't give a toss if that's at the back wheel or the crank - I'm not a good enough rider to have any more than that right now.

All the best until the next time we go for a ride and you have to wait for me to catch up dude.

Yeh that's true... it's all relative eh, lets just say it's not often I'll be on a ride and leading the pack

Trackdays are invaluable for really seeing just how far your bike will go, so if you get the chance it's worth a shot.
