Well it would have if you'd had a bike
-
Last time I went out on the bike I did indeed report it....that was my last ride
-
And there's been zero ride reports from you about it..... I'm calling this as
-
No idea I wear leather not textile. Though I'd guess if it has armour in the normal places then you can't really go far wrong and if it's at the right price I'd say go for it
-
Otherwise known as you're girlfriend.....
-
Abit warm....I'd be fucking melting in that heat, mid 20s is much more than enough on the heat scale don't need anymore than that. Give me winter anyway and I'll be much more happy! Can always warm up but it's a mission to cool down in this desert heat. In other news I don't really have any plans for the weekend apart from do as little as possible especially if its this warm
-
At some point in the future yes
-
Because I need something to do apart from work and sit in the house staring at 4 walls.....so why not get out on track
-
I'm sure I will yeah, I'll be taking it easy at least for a couple of sessions then as the day progresses I'll start working on improving my lap times abit
-
Yeah I've heard it can be brutal with v twins not like a 4cyl at all which I think will be the biggest factor om if me and the bike get along or not
-
Haha well I was 13 so.....probably not
-
I have done trackdays at donny and Cadwell and Cadwell I crashed at park corner and at donny I ran off at coppice after having a bike stuff it up the inside and I had to stand the bike up. I plan to do a day in the novice group for my first outing to get to know the rsv and get myself back in to track riding
-
This is true the mountain section is pretty damned hairy.....but then again Donnington has its moments with it being so damn fast
-
I'm not determined to injure myself I just need something to do with my spare time now that rugby is out of the window and I have thoroughly enjoyed the 4 trackdays I've been on so far so what better way to fill my time than scare myself stupid every once in a while. I'll leave the stamp collecting and knitting to you
-
Very nice, I believe mine would originally have come with twin exhausts but it's been converted into a single. This is my very first vtwin so hopefully it suits my style of riding too compared to the inline 4s but time will tell.
-
That would be good Clive, let me know if you chose to pop along and we can meet up for a cuppa
-
That lasted me the journey home well till just over half a tank which is what I picked it up with
-
Cost me 152 quid to fill the van up yesterday when I was getting the bike....
-
It's 220 quid but it varies alot between 125 up to 400 or 500
-
I have now decided on Donnington on the 12th July
-
Croft is my nearest but there's not much going on there atm, looking at either Donnington or Cadwell. Looking at early next month
-
So I have been around the bike and everything is good, now I need to get a trackday booked
-
It was actually pretty cheap
-
Well today after my family duties are done I'll crack on with checking over the mille for anything untoward though with the paperwork I have with the bike it would suggest that it's wanted for nothing its a 1 owner from new motorcycle with a mostly dealer service history and was converted into a trackbike earlier last year. It seems abit of a faf to select neutral but not sure if that's an issue with the bike or how it's meant to be though I'm sure someone in the know could let me know. I have just ordered a dB killer as currently it sounds like it could easily wake the dead so highly doubtful it would meet the noise regulations for most if not all track days though it looks to have spent a good few days on the track recently so I may be wrong with its loudness but I figured for the sake of 25 quid it is better to have it and not need it that need it and not have it in the tool cabinet
-
Well it looks like there could well be life after rugby the ninjas new stablemate has arrived safe and well
