Chewie Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 As they say the throttle goes both ways. You can get SMIDSYd on a CG125 as well as a CBR1000. Nothing beats riding a bike. I like my Supe but for sheer exilliaration I'll take my Speed Triple anyday - as long as it's not raining or too cold. [GRIN][/GRIN] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 As they say the throttle goes both ways. Ah but this is why i dropped down to supermotos, Every time My mate got on a link road/motorway it was straight to 150 everytime. Its impossiible to ride at sensible speeds imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DevilsAdvocate Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It's all about enjoying the ride. My 1200 GSA ain't as fast as a Gixer but might (does) have the edge on manouverability, me Notrun and Trident were fast in their day but anything over 90 gets a bit 'worying' Enjoy and ride safe:) Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I had a brand new ZX6R for my first bike and wrote that off in 2 weeks, then i brought a new ZX9R and split the frame on that landing big wheelies, then got a T595 (900cc) flipped that doing a wheelie, that never did me a lot of good:d after that i had a few years of trouble free biking on various R1's, then the biggie..... broke my back in 3 places in 2001 on a K1 gsxr1000 (i could not walk for 6 months and had a full torso body cast, my wife had to wipe my arse for 9 weeks:d had about 5 years off biking then brought a ZX10R and fitted nos to it;) then decided to get another gsxr1000 (what was i thinking:blink:) and had a big near miss on that one day on my way home from turbofit, that was the last day i ever rode a superbike:d If that dont put you off bikes nothing will:d ******* *** .
