You have to do this once in your life lovingbiker, before they stop you racing over the mountain.

Yes agreed Amethist, Im provisionally booked to go next year :D
Would love to have done it with my D with me but hey the TT is still the TT even on my own lol
If you fancy doing it again I may very well have room on the back :eek:

As long as you don't do 90+ MPH round the Veranda, been there done that. :eek:

Speed is fine but with steep drops to one side and a 90 Deg bend in front, you do need plenty of clothes. :rolleyes:

Now go look for the snow thats heading your way. :D
 
PIC's Amethist ? :rolleyes: please:oops: oops your a Mod aren't you:D.
"Snow" whats that it's 9pm here & still +31c, just a sweat ball, believe it or not I have a snow pic on my desktop of my home town in New Zealand to remember what it's like. (23 summers here in Aussie now).
My 5 sisters back in N.Z all have cruisers 750cc-1400cc (I'm proud of them), they all go to the bike rallies etc over there.

P.S In trials terms you just took a point with body contact with the ground lol. Second look maybe 5 points for entire body being on one side of the bike lol.

See told I was no good at trials :eek:
And dont get me started on motorcross.. me and motox dont mix well lmao :oops:
LB
 
Well I have spent a good few hours over the last few days, searching every folder on my Laptop for my bike pictures.

Only to finally remember they are not on here, they are all on my old monster PC. :oops:

I will get them transfered and post them up soon. :)

Amethist
 
So are seriously into racing LB or just here in there?

Was suppose to be racing my zxr400 this year but with one thing and another it never happened.
I will do some more trackdays next year and maybe racing year after now.
If it wasnt for the snow id be out on one of the road bikes :)

Look forward to seeing them Amethist as im sure blwnawy is too :D

mine and my brothers zxr400s
 
You must be a little serious LB with your leg warmers opps I mean tyre warmers :D & stands etc.
Try not to leave the racing too long, the older you get the harder it is. Tend to loose that youthful nerve.
What are they like to ride, get any head shake? I had a friend with a Suzy RGV 250 (vTwin 2stroke) light as so short you felt like you were sitting out over the front wheel, we ended up putting a steering dampener on it as it used to have a habit of getting the death wobbles around 140k not a good feel. The GSX1100efe were similar (the bike I wrote off hitting the roo) with their smaller front wheel if you were riding one handed you couldn't relax if you did it'd start tank slapping at any speed.
Love your new avatar, poor bike it's like it's making the statement- have your cake & ride it too.

Post note to the animal lovers who might read this post: the afore mentioned roo (kangaroo) technically hit me, jumped into the side of my front wheel then glanced off the fairing sending the bike into a horizontal wheel stand at 120k.
END SCORE : Me, badly dislocated & broken shoulder, 4 broken rib's, 30 stitches in my stomach & a badly wrecked bike (no ptsd with this one:confused: just marked it down to experience) - The Roo, I really did feel sorry for it thinking there no way it could of survived or worse I'd have to dispatch it but no, it got up got up looked at me shook it's head twitching it's ears, like what were you thinking & happily hopped away like nothing had happened.
 
yes suppose I am serious in that respect with the tyre warmers and gazebo lol
The zxrs are farly stable tbh but they are fitted with ohlins steering dampers to be sure they dont get out of control :D

My brother had a tzr250 that he said was a little like you describe the rgv never really got a chance to try it out myself.

Mad that that the roo walked... sorry hopped away... roo... 1 gsx1100.... 0 gutted :(

Thats 3 times in 2 weeks that my bike has been covered in snow... need a bigger garage lol
