Just about; Badger, Badger's Older Daughter, Wizard, Me, My Lad That was a bloody good ride out, particularly as the TS50 had been in bits the day previously. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
I'd be shitting myself the first time I went into a corner even fairly fast because that looks as if it'll deck too easily.
I reckon it suits the bike better. You can HAGM any time -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
Is that the daughter who is getting the SV? I think she should be encouraged to attend more ride outs once she gets it.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Dan L amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: Did you have the laser on it when I last saw you? I don't remember seeing that but you did the right thing. Looks much better now. How does it go?
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lady Nina amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: IIRR, you wanted a go on mine as well. IIRR (again) you were chuffed because you could get your feet on the ground.
Yes. There are some things I'd love to try - the blingmobile for example - but would drop at low speeds.
Lady Nina wrote You are joking. Those *HUGE* motorcycles are a piece of piss at slow speed. It is coping with them when stopped that is the big issue. Making progress ain't impossible either, although it needs either muscles or weight but it can be done.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lady Nina amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: I can't quite recall if I've ever ridden the blingmobile, I think not but I have ridden Dodger's Wing and that was quite possibly the scariest bike I've ever had the pleasure of going on. Riding it was fine (I'm told the wobble at low speed is gone now), it was paddling the beast to turn it round that filled me with trepidation.
It had the Laser on at EOSM. Vroom Vroom -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)

snip> Great. I never knew until now that if you put a professional rider/racer on a lardy old bike he'll be able to 'shame' someone on a sports bike along a twisty road. What happens when you put riders of similar ability on the sports bike and the lardy old bike? I'm sorry but I've seen that load of bollocks trotted out about so many bikes that all it manages to do is make me think the person telling us this stunning fact must be a wanker.
