get yourself to a BMF show where you can pick up gear cheap. the big one is in peterborough later in the year

don't think that you'll get better economy from a bike than a car, cos you won't. it's a joke.

 

Right i`ll take it


I`ll defo get the drinks in tho, if you can keep up with the hard drinking jocks lol

 

thats that sorted then

will try and keep up... do they sell half pints in scotland

 

pmsl, only for the children lol

 

Moderators please delete this thread.

I'm happy for you you Johnny but it's simply a case of monkey see monkey want with me and I'm wanting a machine now... and I'll be worse when you turn up with the bike!

 

i can well believe it...

do you wanna buy an R6

 

Well Done mate.....this is where the REAL fun starts!

 

Well played, you wont regret it

I am coming up you way in a couple of weeks checking out these awesome roads you got up there

 

Excellent mate, speed carefully

 

sweet.. well done welcome to the club, one day we may see you for a blast around. safe and quick riding my friend.

 

Anything less than a 1er is illegal

 

Got my new bike and thought i`d keep it on the same thread so theres a couple of pictures of it at the start

 

bloody nice first bike

as you've just passed your test and bought a bike you must be the reason were having all this rain

 

im planning on getting my bike license soon.
my plans for the bike.. paint it white, antracite wheels and tiger stripes like my saph

 

Nice looking bike - out of interest, it looks like the exhaust doesn't have a silencer - where is it nowadays? somewhere below the fairings?

Cheers

RW

 

nice bike mate i love taking mine out in the sunny weather

 

nice bike i didn't expect something so new after your comments about cash at the start. you won the lottery?

hope you've filled in your organ donor card?

now you just have to do what it says on your bike licence and 'tear along the dotted line'

 

Very nice first bike


But as always be careful, my friend parked his 2005 R6 ontop of another friends 2006 RSVR Factory on weds night

Both are ok but bikes are f##ked and it happenned at about 30mph

 

thats when most write offs on bike happen, you would feel very silly after doing that !

 

Bike looks lovely mate

Must get me a licence this year.

 

Tell me about it mate, as soon as the suns out a little im running around getting my gear on, b y that time its started raining

I wish mate, its all on the card

 

STUNNING BIKE MATE I WANT ONE NOW YOU COOONT

 

im supprised the emergency stop is done at such a low speed, a more appropiate speed would be 70 mph. BUT i guess if doing a proper emergency stop on a bike there is a very big chance you are going over the handles bars, no?

 

well done mate, nice bike if i do say so myself , you might want to get a steering damper on it as they are known to misbehave from time to time.

Get yourself on this site..

well done jonny......
make sure you have somewhere safe to keep it at night........and get a thousand yard stare and your be fine....

 

not really - you're more likely to snatch the front brake and lock the wheel which will see it tuck under and you will be on your arse quicker than you can say 'greased lightning'

abs is the future - will be optional on all honda models by 2010

to get the rear to come up high, you need to be more progressive on the front brake to get the weight transfer forward so that it has enough grip to lift the rear wheel up without locking the wheel.

 

nice bike? how old? best colours too

be careful tho! most 1st bikes end up down at least once!

how much to insure such a new bike?

 

I like your bike a lot. I was considering a bike instead of another car as I've always wanted one and when I went the Nurburgring everyone had them. Riding to the 'Ring on a Sports Bike soon became my dream.

I hope you have some fantastic times on you're bike. Take care and have fun.

Benni.

 

Thanks alot mate, i hope to go to the ring myself but not for a couple of years probably, so much to learn and all my life to do it so no rush really, get yourself passed up, its the best thing i`ve ever done

 

I'd love to mate but I have a few health problems so my doctor doesn't advise it. I can imagine it's nerve wrecking riding the first few times?

Benni.

 

cheers chops, the bikes a 57 plate insurance was £790 fully comp with all the jargon like break down etc, pretty high but i`ve only passed just over a fortnight ago so i cant complain really

 

Nice r6 jonny.

 

I was pretty nervous when i took it a test drive, i didnt want to drop the fooker before i even bought it


Its SOOOO much different from the bikes i learned on, its light as a feather in comparison so cornering it wants to lean over all the time and im still a shite bag so im fighting it not to


There is no buzz like it tho, i went out today with a few mates and its just so adictive you dont want to come home

 

I would of thought you have a very quick bike to start on? I bet it feels good knowing you could blow away most cars on the road.

I do like your bike, it's the best color.

Benni.

 

thats a mental new bike to have as your first. fair play

seriously tho beware.

have you cracked the throttle yet? its quite an experience

 

When i brought it up the road i stopped at a service station and my mate asked if i had hit limiter yet, i said i didnt look but i must have been close, when i came out i opened it right up and i thought wow i must be about 15k and changed, only to glanse down and i had just passed 10k lol

I had it pretty well on today, theres a little white shift light comes on when your about 16k, i seen it more than a few times today

 

pmsl. i remember doin that. short changine early by accident

 

What tyres are on it mate?

was out with the lads today, one of the lads has an 06 r6, all the local bikers know him. Hes f~~kin quick and rather talented. He was getting the bike on the back wheel at 110/115 in 4th and going round corners.. nutter... lol

you have started a new chapter in your life mate and your going to absolutely love it.

Read up on riding tips when the initial buzz has faded a fraction , you can find them on the net and bike magazines, help you with body position , target fixation, where to look ,turn in points , when to get on the gas, braking etc etc etc

oh and get on track asap, after a track day or 2 you should feel much more confident on the road and able to ride well within your limits

 

nice one johnny

 

Thanks alot mate i`ll take your advice

The back tyre is brand new, i got him to fit a pirreli corsa 3 before i got it, its not far from needing one on the front to so i`ll just put the same on.

Any good places for tyres or is mytyres.co.uk still pretty good?
