Commitment at the 3pm Grand Prix

**madbikeboy** · 12th December 2007, 20:27

Been at least a week since I posted some shit to get you all stirred up...

Before Katman gets his panty liners wet, there was no one else around.

Standing at the intersection of Customs Street and Hobson this afternoon. Can hear a stink pot, revving it's ass off, must have been doing 27,000,000 rpm and the guy was on it, twisting it for all he was worth.

The little stroker came into view, looked like an RG150, missing most of it's fairing though. Guy takes a wide line, racing from customs street, knee just about touching the asphalt, WFO (wide fucking open) and up Hobson street.

Bless his cotton socks for giving me a grin in the middle of another day working to fund my mortgage and tires for the Gixer.

The guy was showing considerable commitment - if it was you, good on yer mate. I guess this proves that little ones can do it too.

If you want some crazy fun, borrow someones 250 or smaller bike for a week, now you're used to the gixxer, going down to something so much smaller is beyond a laugh, you'll end up kneedown@WOT without even trying on the little bike, then realise that it only has a fraction of the braking effort of the gixxer and you end up stopped halfway through a intersection...

Well, that's how it worked for me anyway, if I ever ride a small bike again I'm sure I'll kill myself from bravado!

Had an RGV250SP for a while. Fastest thing in the world around corners, like a loose grenade with the pin out, rolling around on the floor on wet days.

Love the little stink pots. If anyone out there has a RGV250 roller, (or better still, an Aprillia RS250 roller), let me know. In performance Bike magazine, they had an article on supermono's - 100kg weight floor, any single cylinder you'd like. Sounds like fun...

I love the 6 pots on the Gixer - best feel and modulation of any bike I'
ve ever owned. Good bless Yoshimura and chequebook racing...

This was probably me... I love my bike

Nah, it was a little one, not a 250. RGV's sound really distinctive, even when they're wearing italian pants... Nice choice mate.
