    If you dont have it on slick mode from the start, you are gayer than
    wessie's cumbucket.

    Are they **** as like, to be honest, they dont feel that fast, have a go
    on Champs kwak bike if you want more savagery than a Polynesian island
    in a drought.

    'busa's are big heavy long bikes & whilst the numbers equal fucking uber
    fast, they dont 'feel' it. Unless you want to stop, that is :)

    The K12 i had was about as fast as a 'busa in the real world, but ****
    me it stopped like it went & could easy do most tracks at warp speed.

    |Have fun tomorrow on UBER power :)

  3. Not really. It's not a total animal like a 10R. There's just this
    amazing endless shove.

    And suddenly you've gone past the first two countdown boards for the
    roundabout that was half a mile away and are doing 140...

    AOL, the ride over to Aynho looks quite interesting if I'm choosy about the
    way I get to Tewkesbury

  7. Gotta agree there. My busa was worked (138kW at the rear wheel) and it
    didn't really feel fast til you looked at the speedo. The power
    delivery is so linear that you don't really get that speed rush. I was
    gunna turbo it til divorce intervened.

    I wonder how often that's been said.

    Champ took a blunt brush and painted...
    Your "litre sports bike" has had one or two tiny mods though!

    BTW I would have loved to have a go on yours at the BOSM, but luckily for you
    there's asolutely no way I could get my right foot on the peg.

    Any chance you can organise feet forward pegs for when we meet up next? :)

    I remember riding it (you took a go on my TRX) and my recollection is
    that yes, it raised the front wheel on throttle over the tiniest of
    bumps but on the other hand it wasn't at all "scary" (though this may
    have been due to the massively better brakes it had compared to the
    TRX).

  12. It was the other way round for me; I was going to get a 911 Turbo til
    marriage intervened.

    Your bike does not need a border or a GB badge as it was built and
    registered before they became a legal requirement for new bikes. The
    number plate law was not intended to be implemented retrospectively and
    I'd be back to your MOT place to give them a bollocking and pick up a
    certificate IIWY.

    Print a copy of this page and take it with you, the GB plate and border
    bollocks only applies to bikes registered after September 1st 2001

    I always get that going from the motorbike to a hardtail MTB - I keep
    checking for a flat tyre.

    What's with all the 10R's getting a makeover? Did you stack it or blow
    it up? I'm guessing the latter.
    UKRM French run?
