Mark, keep riding hard mate, you have mountains of enthusiasm and passion for motorcycles and love to ride.

You know I'll always ride with you (because you're so slow and make me feel like I'm a faster rider

)

Hey skidmark,
Im so not having a dig at you, but dont you think a zx10 is a pretty huge jump? Im not saying this to just you, i dont think i would recomend anyone take a big upgrade like that. What about a cbr600 or something. They still go hard and hold their own but it's lighter and more of a gradual step.Its just my opinion and it dosent mean squat, but i think a riders bike should grow in CC's as the riders experance and skill's grow. Get something that challanges you dont get me wrong you need a challange to keep your learning curve going.

Like i said im not giving you any shit and its just ones guys opinion. What ever you do keep riding and try not to bight off more than you can chew.

great idea mark, you wana split the shipping on a supercharger kit from calisuperbikes? should bump it up to 240-260hp
they are a bit gutless stock.....

thanks dan, i myself thought it was very good call

**Harry the Barstard** · 19th March 2007, 21:44

just for clarification is skidmark the guy on the 100cc ct kind of style bike?

I need a pair of clear sunglasses I think... need the smoked visor to ride to work in the sun, but makes it hard to see in the back of beyond with no street lights
