Pete Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 But I like my limbs to be loose! Damn, you got me! We should start a new poll on who is the tallest member on .net I'm 10 ft tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Thanks for the advice Carlos... much appreciated and lots to think about.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 I think it was £545 or £645 or something, so with your helmet & gear it can be quite expensive initially, but it does pay for itself in petrol eventually if your only other transport is the Supra! I've only been riding for 2 years now, and most scary moments I've been lucky enough to see coming before they've happened. Did I read that you're 6ft 10!? No idea, what sort of bike you'd fit on! lol We should start a new poll on who is the tallest member on .net Cheers bud... yep 6ft 10... This place has been a lot to think about, but I'm still thinking I want to give it a go.... think I'll get the CBT out the way and see how it goes... nice to have a place like this to run my crazy ideas past....

Ewen Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 As others have already said....invest in the proper gear and a decent helmet, similar to the personal re-post below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Prawn Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Bikes are dangerous.. Bit of a sweeping statement. So are many other things. I love bikes, I've ridden for years and been faster on a bike than in a car. As of yet the only crash I've had was on a track, but in a car I've been hit a few times. The worst injuries I've had is over a dozen broken bones from football, so is that dangerous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I've been looking into getting a CBR600 when Zoe passes her test and starts driving the Yaris. A bit worried but generally all the riders I talk to say it is dangerous yes, but you very rarely get a fatal accident unless you ride like a tool - as long as you don't try and filter through traffic all the time and overtake in small gaps you should be fine and the only crashes you're likely to have you will be protected by the gear (you MUST wear your gear!!!!) and it'll only be the bike and your pride to fix up. I'll get one one day - life's worth living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungy Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I lost a friend this year only weeks after competing in a 24hr enduro and have not felt the same on a road bike since. Will still compete off road though as no pensioners or mums doing the school run out in the mud. It does seem to be getting worse out there on the roads. Consider getting a road legal trail bike. Good upright position and easy to ride. Harder wearing than a sports bike too. Whatever you get they are fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
