Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I wonder??? How many people here used to or still do ride a motorbike? I am one for sure and I know of LOADS of others on this forum... Maybe a Paramotor Club hire bike trackday is in order? My best ever bike....The Exup 1000 Streetfighter that I built from a frame out of Keiths hedge in his back garden. (ended up in Streetfighters mag as a featre bike) Before that.... A GSXr 1100 Turbo. 320 bhp (before nitros Oxide injection at 100bhp 'which no one, not even Gary Rothwell' pressed ) I had it MOT'ed and made road legal and rode it from Warminster to Southhampton every day for a year and a bit.... I used x4, 2 lb bottles of Nitrous Oxide (won't tell you where that went thought lets just say the bulldog bash that year was VERY funny for all of us ) I have done this before I know but hey..... here she is again. Everyone I know begged me to sell the bike! which I did but not before getting into the 200mph club of course. um' twicw or thrice' http://www.garyrothwell.com/wetsm.mpg SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Another biker here. I was due to do my first ground handling lesson tomorrow but it looks as though the wind has got the better of us. I was introduced to the sport by a biker friend of mine. Looks like there could be a theme brewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Pete, you must be a kindred spirit! I also used to have an RSV Mille but my supermoto was a CCM R30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 BRUTUS must be my kindred spirit ! I also have a Yamaha Dragstar XVS 1100 which may be turning into a trike when the kids get a bit older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUTUS Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 There is nothing like a good ride in a bike. (except fly of course) Each one in hes place. Y also want to build a tryke but for flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irm750 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yep, must be similarities (flaws?) in the personalities of motorcyclists and paramotorists. But then I have heard paramotoring described as being the closest thing to riding a motorbike in the sky! Had a Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat which was my first bike after passing my direct access test, and a Kawasaki KLR250. Used up several of my 9 lives but will have another bike in the future. Best regards, Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUTUS Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Y think that a bike is like the personalitie of the person. What conserns to bikes y like to go on with the road bit by bit enjoy the vieu. Enjoy the road. In paramotor y like to enjoy the ar so yes I describe it as being the closest thing to riding a motorbike but you can go wher ever you want.

outkast Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yep rode bikes for years, first one I had was a honda SS50, followed by a yamaha dt125lc, then an suzuki X7(see below) Then had a couple of Elsies, followed by a fireblade when they were first released, then decided to concentrate on my karting so sold the bikes, about 7 years ago I fancied owning another road bike and found a nice little VFR400 NC30 in a shop near me so I bougt it, great little bike especially on trackdays for showing bigger bikes how to corner. done a good few trackdays on that one and then got greedy and bought another and one for the track I had also packed up racing the karts and took up racing quads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_c Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Fair play everyone for loving bikes! they are great aint they especially on a zx-10 3rd gear 1**mph wheelies!! on a private road though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Sat here in front of PC, weather is cxxp, Ok bikes. Yep reckon there is a connection. I had a honda 125 then passed my test (many years ago now) and went strait to a Suzuki 850 shaft drive. What a lump between my legs after the smaller one. I will always remember the first corner l took at speed. It was the first and last time my knee touched the ground. Then l built up experience and rode it for about four years then Jackie decided it was to cold on the back so chopped it in for a car. Wished l had one now though ready for the spring but where would l put my PPG Anyway to wet this weekend for anything, hoping next weekend is more favourable.

coggie49 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yep me to, had bikes now for about 40 years, last one went about 3 years ago GPZ1100, I miss it every day the sun shines, haven't given up hope of another in the near future. But like is say's below, "it's better up there" David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spigot Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Another biker here.. Had a fair few over the years. Mostly Kawasaki ..Last one a ZZR 1100, but not as much fun as my original zx10, 170mph down a well known 2 mile strip of tarmac in oxfordshire...Took it on a track day once and left many, if not all the newer missiles for dust. till I had to brake for the corners and they all passed me again Given it all up now for a far safer sport.

macey2kk Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 well, yet another biker here too! retired from sport bikes now due to being knocked off my ducati 1098s just after having twins, so dont ask me why but my missus thinks paramotoring is safer!! -- at least there is a lack of blind old ladies flying paramoter! previous sport bikes include ducati 749, ducati 999,Yammy R1. Still on the road though - just sold my 2 ktm's and bought a new ktm 530 excr.. i do a bit of greenlaning, much more fun and a bit safer!. any more greenlaners???? -- regularly up the peaks if anyone fancies a blast.

Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I am thinking of getting myself Xer again. I once rode for the ARMY MX and broke both of the bones in my lower left arm in one accident. nice smooth roads... coppers, man holes, blind idots.... V Bumpy stuff, horses, no coppers 'to an extent I suppose' no man holes but plenty opf badger holes When out, do you get much static from people? I live in the middle of green lanesville and my landlord has about 5 MX bikes. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW well, the bobble hat brigade are always out to get you, but im TRF so i follow the code of conduct... ish! lol. with the weather turning now its perfect for laning and just as much fun! get one bought! -- id recommend the ktm 400 for laning dont go 2 stroke, too noisy and walkers hate em! you should come up to the peaks one day --- some amazing lanes.

nirmal Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yet another biker here. My current ride is a Yamaha FZ1 Fazer. It's probably one that I will keep for a long time if it remains in one piece. I used to ride all year regardless of the weather, but buying a new bike for the first time has made me cut out winter riding. I cant bear watching a new bike rust but I am not completely a fair weather biker yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
