Introductions - Say "Hello" Here

[Kwacky]

I think D6 is on about where the big greenie is parked.

Hello and welcome to the forum and bikes in general.

I bought an ER6F before I did my Mod2 just to add a bit more pressure!
Loving the bike and loving the biking! Still crap myself at the acceleration !

I still remember the feeling of speed on the training schools GS500... It will pass, especially when the good weather returns. The er6 is a great way to start.

The "Green Meanie" is parked in front of the Cerne Giant.......... It's only a few miles from where I live........ It seemed Apt at the time...... When I posted on the MCN forum that the Bike had been altered by fitting the Yoshi's, PCV, Race Filter and Custom Mapped............ I got in to a lickle bit of Twubble .... with a Vicar............... Basically He Questioned the Size of my Manhood and it all went downhill from there................ ( I Love Dots ) ..... anyway It has 197 RWHP and goes like Fook but It's a real pain to ride and I miss the Busa.........

[sir thomas blanchard]

only a few miles from where I live - really?, thought you were further north

[Short Fat and Stupid]

Nope.......... I'm Located in the "Sprawling Metropolis" known as Yeovil...... Deep in the South of Zumerzet.......... home of the Wurzels ...... Miles from Intelligent Life..... and nowhere near Leeds.................

[sir thomas blanchard]

Leeds? where did that come from? , somehow i got the impression that you were stafford way but no doubt i've got mixed up with somebody else, i'm a confused old duffer

[StMarks]

I suspect what he is saying Tom, is that

Nope.......... I'm Located in the "Sprawling Metropolis" known as Yeovil...... Deep in the South of Zumerzet.......... home of the Wurzels ...... Miles from Intelligent Life......................

Putting up with all that ^^,,,,,,,,
..... would be a small price to pay for..:

...... and nowhere near Leeds.................

[sir thomas blanchard]

[Short Fat and Stupid]

The Leeds think was a long story on the MCN Forum...... sorry to keep bringing it up.... Knowing Jimmy Saville was a real Pleasure too............ "now then now then.... as it append" .............. urhgg e urrgh..... or something similar...................

Hi there,

I've been sent over to see you all by kwacky, we've been chatting on twatter a lot and generally taking the piss out of what is out there to take the piss out of.

I'm waaaaaaay down south, the other side of Exeter so a bit far away to pop in for a cuppa, engineer by trade(although due to accident at work no more). I do pretty much all my own spanner work and also have done 4 day suspension course at Reactive Suspension in York.
I run a bike forum, southwestbikers.com, ride my road bike when i can, 990 superduke R and like to play on track when i'm able, 2007 zx10r.

Been riding since i was 16, am now, ahem, 44. Have a natural confusion at how a normal person can buy a gixxer and almost overnight and within a couple of days be a self proclaimed riding god, give out information like it's sweets and then plant their bike into a roundabout or hedge. Seems to be an international problem.
Maybe we need to raise awareness, release a record or something???

regards

simon



I did something to my trackbike to have a little fun with other peoples photos..

Welcome Fidget!

Loving the Track bike, you need a white lid though!

Hi and welcome to the site reading your post ..... I am a riding GOD however i through my Gsxr at a banking.

What did you think to the course at reactive ?? I have pondered doing a suspension course a few times.

[kiwikrasher]

Hi ya Simon/Fidget

Nice track bike, I have a green one the same, but up for sale atm as a single parent now and can't work a track day in very easily.

I'm down south too, bit further than you, a little county call...Australia

Good to see new blood, hope we don't scare you off!

[Kwacky]

That track bike is excellent.

Welcome to Tankslap.

We do dip down towards your way from time to time. I know we've done a ride out through Cheddar Gorge

hi rocket,
thanks for the welcome.

the course was great, a bit brain melty come day 3 but i learnt a lot of new stuff that's enable me to do it as a side line.

Hi and welcome Fidget, I’d guess you’ve photobombed more than a few trackday pics in that disguise!

[D6Nutz]

Hey fidget, welcome to the site.

Good choice in bikes, I have a 990 SD as well, just not the R. The track bike looks awesome.

I'm based in Berkshire so not that far over from you, there are a few southerners round here so maybe when the weather gets a but better.

[DaytonAndy]

Welcome in Fidget. That is certainly an original paint job on the track bike. Just need a 'polite' vest now

[fidget]

it was suggested but i didn't want to go too far.

it's enough to have fun with and i have had a couple people tell me that they've clocked me chasing them down on the straights and actually throttled off for a sec. crazy fools.

well for those down my way, we run a site trackday in June if anyone is interested. Small circuit in Wales called Llandow. I run it at cost, great way to dip your toes into circuit playtime without worrying about egos getting in the way.

[Kwacky]

Feel free to create an event or post a link up for the track day.
