Haha! Yeah will be a bit of that while I'm getting the hang of things. After that I'll leave your bathtub behind on anything other than a quarter-mile

Has this been done before?

Would be interesting. Any drag strips near by??

We'll be needing at least 2 kilometres I think.

Heh then my GN should pull out 150km/h with my custom aerodynamic device

I hear FXR top speed is 130-140, think it was in wikipedia, would be interesting to investigate that.

Dear oh dear, is THAT what you are calling it now?
Looks like the front end of a submarine!

wikipedia?!

*edits article*

i hear the GN top speed is 20kph

experience tells me an fxr can hit 148 downhill with tail wind and rider hugging the tank - but the speedos are usually out, so may be as low as 130kph. felt closer to 140.....

yello

google 'motorbyclist' to find various traces of my impact on the web....

as far as i am aware i was the first to coin the term "motorbyclist" and "motorbycle", which has made motorbyclist a suitable alais on the net so far, but i tend not to use it in real-life stuations (such as an email address) due to the risk of misspelling, which would be inconvienient.

to date, there has since my beginning of use, been two instances to my knowledge of "motorbyclist" being used by two individuals on the internet who i do not know i know. both occurances were in 2006, both on UK forums. since my use has been since 2002, i still claim to have first coined the term.

hmmm

that wiki on the fxr is wrong

it's 147cc not 150cc

and as soon as they have basic manufacturer/manual/stamped on engine numbers like that wrong what else can you trust?

Congrats on the bike JBJB,...looks smart mate

I've been reading this thread and checking all the listings you've found. I'm not quite at the 'buy' stage (i.e. I have zero dollars :slap

, but I'm avidly researching and it's all been good info. Cheers

Gidday mate, and cheers. Have taken the bike out a few times and only had one almost crash so far. Man those 70 km rules suck. The motorways are dangerous at 70/80km.

These guys are really onto it and really helpful!!

No more exams for me ever whoop whoop!!

Sorry I couldn't make the chiller. Should be able to make it next week.
