Lets see your Hardly's get down something like this then. Real men get down and dirty, not just ponce about with a load of leather clad laddies

If you ask me I'd say if you're motor is measured in cubic inches it has no place here

So it was a journey south to my parents to stay there overnight the night before and giving me an hours drive to the track to wake myself up as it was a 5.45am alarm and a leave at 6am. I arrived just gone 7.15am and found myself a garage and got setup alongside 5 other guys in the same garage who it turns out we're really nice guys and ranging in age from 25 or so up to 66 it turns out that the 66 year old was an ex racer a few years ago and he was on the same bike as me though his was a newer version so I decided that he was my main competition as we were in the same group and we had more than one good battle out on track throughout the day which I thoroughly enjoyed. First few sessions didn't really work out as planned though as I found out later that the baffle in the exhaust was messing with the fueling and causing a massive misfire from 8k onwards but removed it and it was a total animal for the rest of the day. I had wanted to work on alot of things but due to some pretty epic battles with mick on the other rsv it all kinda went out of the window. My main objective was to get my knee down just......because I wany that achievement not for any other reason. O did get commended on my good ability to get out of corners extremely well as I get on the power very early in the corner but still keep the apex to corner exit clean I got instruction in my 4th session to see where my main points of improvement lay and its just on the brakes I'm braking way too early but feel like I'm braking as late as I can at the moment but it's something to work on for the future days at the track. So the instructor and mick said I ride the rsv like I would a 600 in as much as I'm not afraid to get hard on the power mid corner using my body weight to hustle it where I want it to be. There was a small amount of rain in the 5th session and this session also saw my nearest miss where a bloke tried a very late lunge up the inside at Hamiltons and I had already committed to it and all I saw was a red flash on my left and a bike stood literally on its nose go straight on to the grass how I didn't collect him or vice versa I don't know there was only a couple of foot in it but mick following said I didn't even flinch and just rode like I hadn't even seen it. The rest of the day went well enough though I chose to for-go the last session as I was starting to feel abit knackered and I knew I had a 270 mile journey ahead so thought as I'd had a great day up to that point there wasn't much if anything to be gained by doing it and arrived home at around 8.30pm. All in all a great day out even if not much was really worked on or improved. Now it will be next year before I get back on track so I'll just do some bits and pieces to the rsv over the winter and get it ready for the new season starting. Pics to follow when I get some from the photographer at the track

Just because you like to roll around in the mud.. Doesn't make you a real Biker..... Why don't you ask Pete about that subject... Or should I say the Polisher.

ate in Lyon’s “Food Traboule” sunday lunchtime. Corn Dogs

There are three Harleys here now, although one of them is basically a toaster, any more and it will be a takeover, it has definitely raised the standard of the forum from the mundane to the dizzy heights of real motorcycles. The rest of you are ponces.

I think you should call yourselves GARF.......,, Gay Assed Riders Fedreration

wurthers mints and Horlicks more like

Apparently you did twice.

What about.. real rider motorcycle forum.? A few of you panzys might have to move and join another forum... Ex.. Guys who ride around in vans with bikes in the back and those that do ride reports around a farm where they live... Again I'm not pointing anyone specific... There might be a limit on cube displacement... Like anything below 650 cc... You might have to join a scooter forum..

Eh? Snickers? When did that happen?

Another well kept site for me to cut my way into surprisingly this one worked perfectly

Fokker was Dutch.

I think this is all a big ploy by @Marcel to get @Buckster's TOTY award! Figures if he can look an even bigger sad twat than Buck does on a Harley then it's going to be a vote winner!

Twat!... Ok then for the illiterate then... 1690 cc.

My thoughts exactly, there was 5 red flags in various sessions throughout the day and 2 of which were road bikes that were pretty well fucked afterwards and they rode to the track so no idea how they managed to get home. I only ever rode to my first ever track day and luckily I didn't bin it that day otherwise I'd have been fucked. Always pays in my book to either van it or trailer to track days just incase you bin it

Fun was had, you didn't hurt yourself, good day!

What about.. Hell rider motorcycle forum?

So what is actually on you're menu Pete as it doesn't sound like much

My wife has just finished jury service (Second time she has done it) She is a pensioner and received £22.70p

Sounds like a plan.... Now to figure out a real name for this forum..

Say hi to Brad.

Well that's about it.... I wanted to be home for Monday to catch up on thing around the house... Dan the Indian stayed and extra night.

So you live in Spain and....you don't eat any Spanish foods....wtf pete bet you're more in to Turkey dinosaurs with smiley faces with a orange squash to swill it down with

First 100 meters are all about launch skill and an unflippable bike, after that if it's a real race the ktm will fold your chrome mirrors forward as it flies past.

Turns out both bikes have about the same torque figures... I'm wondering if I should give the ktm like a head start like 10 m.... To make thing even...

watched it on sky showcase

@XTreme you watched the Tyson v Bruno documentary , worth a look.

Probably meant Focke, as in Focke-wulf.

What about, The Black Widows?

Harleys just jump over shit like that.

That and the mass of all the moving components... Pistons... Rods... Crankshaft... Stroke also plays a big factor..

Ya probably.... But I think that Honda has a plastic fly wheel.. So it doesn't generate much torque..

This boy is going places.....insane speed and power!

It's a future project I pick it up tomorrow so a pic or two will be taken when I get it then I'll be making a plan to turn it in to an enclosed version, on the face of it I'd say it will be fairly easy to do and won't add too much unladen weight to it so shouldn't change the load capacity overly much
