Shut the front door... Sounds nasty. Are you back to full fitness now then? A mate of mine in Fast Group was doing 1.01 at Mallory in the Dry I think so a 1.05 in the wet seems bloody quick to me !! I just googled Ben Wilson, that guy is quick. I think I'll do one of those when I don't seem to be ge...

It's nice you think like that. My dad earns £80k a year, his partner earns about £20k, they have no kids of their own or any particularly large outgoings besides the mortgage. The most he has ever offered me for anything was £500 for my first car - and it was a loan. I didn't take it because he was ...

Crashing isn't particularly great is it? Any injuries to you or was it just to your bank balance and confidence? I know a few people on the ZX6R UK page who use the S20 Evos on track and they like them but I lost all confidence in Bridgestone to try them. I nearly lowsided a 2012 GSXR 1000 with S20s...

Yeah he is monsterous on the straights !! They were only standard bikes too (with track fairings). I do love that bit when he looks left. You can't see it in the video but he nearly hits me because he keeps turning right due to looking left over his shoulder. I learnt that I could brake hard into th...

That's exactly what I would like to do.. We want 3 kids and a 3 bed detached or semi with a garage and space for a dining room table. It needs a big enough garden for the kids but doesn't need to be massive. That's all. Within 1 mile of where I live I can get that for between £130k or £250k. Even at...

Have you used BT016s? How do they compare with the S20s? I literally hate the BT016s which is why I never use Bridgestone now. I've had so many near-highsides on those tyres because they grip OK and then all of a sudden they run out of grip and catapult you skywards. Not used the M7RRs either but I ...

Thanks a lot! I've only done 3 trackdays so don't feel I should be racing yet.. maybe another year of trackdays before I start racing - I don't have the money or the bike for it though so will take some time !!

I did exactly that on my car yesterday. Fitted some Uniroyal Rainsport 3s. These things grip better in the wet than my previous tyres did in the dry !!

What tyres do you use in the summer months Kwacky?

Thanks Perkles

I'm properly excited for trackdays next year as I will be shedding some weight off the bike and giving the brakes and suspension some attention

I've seen worse designs but yes, what's supposed to be new about this thing? Still hideously under powered, still hideously overweight and IMO less attractive than previous models. If they gave it another 20bhp and remove the MASSIVE exhausts this bike would probably right up there. I felt embarress...

I'd like to trial an idea I've had for about over 7 years now but I don't have the money for it. I'd also like to buy my own house by the time I'm 25 but that won't be happening because my girlfriend can't work through disability. You HAVE to be in a partnership with both people earning £25k or more...

Ahaa !! Very true, that's why I'm good at things like - In, Out, In, Out. Clean up my splooge.

It's not going to help the mood in the garage now is it

I doubt anything could have helped that !!

I hate how they look but I would love to come against one at the track. I Had a little tear up against an S1000RR at Donington - that was good fun!!

I mean a ZX10R in your standard trackday trim.. improved brakes, little lighter, sticky rubber..

I would say that's a fair enough reason to get those tyres.. I both love and hate buying something new and untested - love it because it's new and hate it because I don't know if I'm going to like it. It's the same with brakes, tyres and trackdays. Obviously there's an easy answer for trackdays - do...

Well in that case fair enough..

I like things simple. That why I ride a scooter! *Meep*Meep*

How does this compare to a ZX10R lap time?

Hahahaaa... This whole situation is hilarious !!!

I don't get how Marquez is losing fans over Rossi doing a dangerous and underhanded move on him..

I wish I could try these bikes. I especially like the sound of these two bikes
