Took the blade out today
Re: Took the blade out today
ha ha, but you can't scale down Daz or you will lose out in pub top trumps.
The french with their limp 100bhp limit for bikes - with their smooth quiet well surfaced roads and considerate car drivers pfffttt
One day like i did, you wake up and realize you don't need huge bhp, have the latest and greatest or care what others think to enjoy riding bikes on the road.
I think the most powerful bike i own is just over 100bhp and shy of 200 kilos, yet oddly i have more fun with half the power and half the weight.

Re: Took the blade out today
I've had exactly that on a NWB run while riding my Fireblade along a greasy road towards Knutsford. Overtook a car, and in my zealous haste, I opened the throttle too wide, too soon and the rear wheel shot put sideways and tried to overtake me. Managed to stay on the bike somehow as the whole bike was swivelling around the headstock...guess it was luck!stewslash wrote:I got my first litre bike yesterday and went for a little blast, it was raining by the time I got it , I managed to get the rear spin up on me in 4th something my street triple would never do
I will have to take it easy and take my time getting used to the extra power but it's fun!

In fact, I managed to write off a ZX-10R two months new
Got the Fireblade once the bones had healed

You seem to have your sensible mouth on today.

I remember it well, I was right behind you, the back must have stepped out 18 inches definitely thought you were going down.pch1 wrote:I've had exactly that on a NWB run while riding my Fireblade along a greasy road towards Knutsford.

And why have all those ponnies if you're cut there legs off up to their knees with ABS.
I'd rather have a bike I can ride.
