Default At last a biker with respect



Forgot, last night i had a play with a Kawazaki (sp) now dont ask me what one as i have not got a clue as im nto really up on bikes! But he pulled along side me and signaled he want to play so i booted it from 60-130 and i pulled about 2 car lenghts on him. I eased of he pulled along side me and put thumbs up


Normally bikers are fookin ignaront or misrable coonts

Was a laugh. Though my poor car seems to be getting a hammering this week

I've had some good fun with bikers some are just like us and like a good blast occasionally and let you know they have enjoyed being up against you.

I tend to find bikers pretty cool and always get an approving nod or thumbs up if I do well. Pretty cool bunch most of the time. You get dicks but you get dicks in any group or proffesion.

I never seem to get any challenges in my sporty little Clio 16v.... Never even get the saxo boys coming up alongside me for a go. It's getting real boring!

We have a local bike meet every wed and usually when we go to cheshire meet evry 2nd wed we always get them wanting to race.

Some times they win sometimes they lose but always get a nod or a smile

Have a lot of respect for bikers

Its a shame you dont get the respect back off car drivers when you cane them.I decided to race a subaru a few months ago on my cbr1000.You know the type,blue with gold wheels (thats 98% of them )anyway I let him have a head start and then caned it after him.Caught him on a straight road and got up behind him at 130 ish and the fookin tozzer slammed on BIG TIME.Nearly hit him.I gave him a few hand gestures in the hope that he would pull over in the next village coz I got off the bike and waited and he didnt even have the balls to stop.

it was worked out on here by someone that a 110bhp bike power to weight ratio is 600 bhp per ton
i have a zx6r and i wud say you need at least 300/400 bhp to even start plying with a superbike
in america thay got the fastest car thay cud find and the fastest bike thay cud find and in a straight line the turbocharged suzuki hyabusa that run 200 mph standard blew the car to bits, the power to weight of a turbo hyabusa must be awsome

have respect for bikers and car drivers

Been here before with this story Series of 1-2 mile straights punctuated by 3 roundabouts,R6 came off the first roundabout behind me and stayed there till we got to the traffic lights in the town,speeds from 50-140+ and he COULD NOT pass me. Now if you say he wasn't trying,then how many bikers do you know have their chin on the tank/arse in the air when they are just relaxed? Seems feasable to me as i can carry a lot more speed through a roundabout than a bike,brother in law agrees,and he's a mad biker.
