Owners of nice bikes who can't ride

[owner]

On sat coro GP, I followed a repsol blade into tairua from whitianga
very tight stuff, I was hanging off like a friggin monkey.... left... right, getting the odd scccarpp on the sliders thinkn Im bloody Sam Smith and when look up the bloody guy in front is casual as sitting solid in the middle of the seat. FARK
I wish I was a owner of nice bike who cant ride,(instead of medium bike medium class)would be alot safer, less demoralising when you get owned and less expensive. To any owners of nice bikes who cant ride I admire your self preservation/restraint and mint bike and filthy missus

Lies I tell you - I've seen your lack of chicken strips - in fact it looked like your bike had had the exhaust down on a right hander!

(sorry about the exhaust by the way)

Kinda let slip that I am not the one responsible for the lack of chicken strips on my bike, there, McJim.....
You are forgiven, as to err is human, but to forgive is Divine!!

LOL...so you met Steve(BB2) eh. He's a bastard like that man!

[NotaGoth]

I couldn't even ride a minimoto to its full potential, let alone my RG.










Despite that fact once I have my full licence I will still be buying the bike that I want, why not? I only live once. May as well enjoy it, which I will despite my nana like abilities.

I keeping with the thread i have said that a bike is a wast on a person not the way they ride it, the way the care for it. A ducati needs respect not just chucking somthing on the tank be it a pie or a se of keys etc. If you love your big bike but can not ride for shit i dont have aproblem..

Jesus Christ.

wot? cnt u under shtand dat?

Ok i will say it again.

A bike is a waste on a person if they do not maintain and care for it properly.

There?
Happy?
well?
Are you?
Want to scrap?
There is a good chance i am bigger than you?
And my bike is a sword???????????????????????????

[Finn]

And my bike is a sword???????????????????????????

It was in it's day, but now its just a rusted dagger.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah he Lurks on here too

Since mastering the knee down i have advanced noticeably.

OK, here is exhibit A.

Observe how Chris has left his knee tucked against the fairing, but has actually shifted his central body mass over further and is leaning harder than Nick, who has his knee poking out in best accepted style, but... isn't winning the race...

I'm just sayin'.

Knee out and down does not automatically mean better cornering.

Not that I'm making excuses for myself, mind you. I couldn't possibly ride at anywhere near a proper race pace. But, in my own mind, sitting here at my desk, I am powering sideways out of the hairpin at Phillip Island, knees tucked firmly against the bike and left hand raised in salute to my adoring fans...

*drifts off into a reverie*

[blade1000]

good on you i agree 100 % with you

[McDuck]

It would still cut you down big time little man

Has to be one of the more hazardous roads around tho, what with all the traffic, double lanes, heaps of trucks, buses spilling oil and diesel an cowshit all the time....but if that's where you liken your track riding to then all the best of luck.

I never saw these things in the 17 years of living on them and riding them on a very regular basis, so I'm confident there are more dangerous roads around. Let me think of an example... Hmm, ANY COUNTRY ROAD? Old Te Aroha road is shocking for loose stock and effluent just to name one example.

But hey, my bad for picking a road with a good surface, loads of visibility and plenty of room. Plus, anyone who rides up in the left-hand lane is asking for trouble.

[jrandom]

... anyone who rides up in the left-hand lane at the kind of warp speeds I consider merely pedestrian is asking for trouble. Bring it on, pussies, I'll own you all.

That's quite enough trash talking from you, missy.

jrandom and MotoGirl, up the Kaimais, road R. A. C. I. N. G.

Loser buys Speights for afterwards, Neal can referee.
