What a bike. I'm sure there was a 998R on autotrader for c.£19k recently.

Blast on bike last night

Today: going to buy some bike security. Beers in pub tonight.

Tomorrow: shopping for my better half's birthday. Possibly a run out on bike if weather any better.

Thanks for the comments guys. Absolutely loving being back on a bike

It's on an 08 plate Kwacky. Sounds quite nice and seems to go pretty well. Just have to remember which lever does which again etc now

Today I.....picked my bike up!

1 rep max overhead squats, front squats and back squats last night. MetCon followed by Olympic Rings and technique tonight!

Lost a stone so far in about a month and fitness and strength slowly improving. So hard to stick to a clean diet though!

Opening up the ZX7R for the first time after derestricting it. 33bhp to 120 odd. Wound it up in 3rd to the red line and simultaneously laughed my head off and sh*t my pants! Considered restricting it again as my brain didn't know what was going on! Fantastic.

Great post Kwacky. I can't even remember how I got on here, wasn't there an exodus from GB Bikers? I may be making that up. Anyway, I've been off here for a long time (off bikes too) but really enjoyed the odd ride out that I got to and the camaraderie on the site. Looking forward to reintegrating m...

Indeed! I'm sure you'll spot me wobbling round in your mirrors for at least a second or two at each junction

Going to try and book this day off to come along. First ride out!

I think knee down just sort of happened for me, but generally only on one side? My left knee slider is almost unused even though it was the only side that I'd decked the pegs out on my gsxr (obviously not trying hard enough!). It feels more comfortable for me to lean off right than left so maybe it'...

Great write up Kwacky, sounds like a fun day.

Tankslap track day would be excellent. I'm aware of a track in Wales that can be hired out but can't recall the name, will have a look.

I used to attend the common meets in Liverpool years back but they got steadily more out of control until a guy on an R1 at top of 2nd gear with no helmet and wearing shorts hit a small motocross bike with two young lads on it (very young). Explosion of bike parts and flying bodies. I never went bac...

You should all come to Skelmersdale, every night's race night :) we've got the M58 for drag racing and the famous Pimbo TT as well for a bit of two wheel small circuit stuff plus a roundabout that can be seen from the moon for all your knee down action and all the friendly plastic scousers you coul...

Please let this happen....

Started at 18 with Cagiva Mito 125, yellow, great little bike but didn't work properly from new. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f207/JimmyMcIOM/Motorbikes/Mito.jpg Sold after 6 months for ZX7R. Restricted to 33bhp. Restrictors were easy to remove. Sold for scrap after 3 months following T junctio...

I'm Jimmy, 31 and I live in Widnes, Cheshire with my fiancée and a cat. Been riding since I was 18 but had a few years out recently due to other commitments. Work in Liverpool doing investment management for individuals, charities, pensions and the like. Had many different bikes in the past and just...
