It's happening already. Everyone knows exactly how this guy rides without ever having seen him.

AWESOME!

The same way we think your an awesome rider really.......

People speak, we listen.
Unless you have a psychic ability for these kinds of things I can't see a better way to guess his level of riding without seeing him.

[avgas]

Red line on an 07 R1 is a wee bit higher than 120.....

Reread please. That was when he changed to second.
From past experience that is not too far off. I was guessing first ends at about 125-130.

"Hit the red-line and found second, was already doing 120" or something to that effect... End of first is around 145.

Pfft! My old 750 will do 140+ in first at redline. A newer R1 is in another league.

Oh I do hope this thread continues!

How long have you been riding MX bikes man?

I been riding dirt bikes since november 2010 lol. Borrowing some leathers tomorrow to go for a ride with my mate on his mrs kawasaki ninja. think its a 250 I dont really know. But the throttle wont be getting twisted like i did the first time on a road bike. Got to respect road bikes, their power and the road. Its a total different cup of tea but I think I will enjoy it.

lol...you're going to have to twist it on one of those!

So he climbed on an R1 and made the very common mistake of giving it a handfull. From this you deduce he's an idiot and we should burn him as ah heretic?

Nice.

To the thread starter, I'll ride with ya man! Anyone who scares the shit of themselves and decides that's their cup of tea is a GC in my books.

I am with ya Drew.

Around and around and around......

just got back from Taupo had a good ride but damn my face got cold with my mx helmet. Its amazing how easy it is just to pull out and pass cars. Nearly had an off going down the summit hit some loose gravel but managed to correct it. An hour 10 there and a an Hour 5 on the way back from the Bay view petrol station was pretty good for my first decent ride.
total kilometres ridden: 279kms

[MSTRS:Me]

An hour 10 and an hour 5? On a 250? Now we know you're gilding the lily.

[Latte]

279k / 2hours 15 minutes is an average of 124km/h.

[MSTRS:Me]

279k / 2hours 15 minutes is an average of 124km/h.

Exactly....

[unstuck]

Wow thats really moving dude

[D3ALN]

Yea lol my mate got that time I was about 2o to 25mins behind him. got passed by a guy on a ducati who gave me a friendly wave which I thought was quite cool. Have jusat been for a dirt bike ride and boy the wrists are sore now.
