If there is, I'm hoping it's because you're a biker ;-) This column again stems from shoutbox conversations had recently, it is also NOT CS related before some nugget (ta mike) starts b***hing. It's community related. So ner.
Anyways, i've got a bike, Scrappy has a bike, Fanto has a bike. How many others on this site have a motorbike, because I figured it'd be a decent idea to try and sort a UKT rideout/weekend thingey if theres enough of us :-)
I'm near Cambridge, Scraps is London, I guess Fanto is aswell. Anyones welcome but its obviously easier for people in our neck of the woods, or we could simply arrange to meet somewhere in the midlands which is a nice ride from any part of the country.
Anyways, get posting what you've got/intend to get, and any ideas on what we could do or where to go. If there's enough interest I'll get something sorted.
Please don't suggest attending a LAN. Although saying that, we only need 2 more.... ;-)
(that last line really is a joke)

But yeah wish I had an R1 (next door neightbour has one) and she said shes went over 160 on it!!!
The problem with me is, that i love to go fast, be it in a car, on a bike, one ice skatez! im dangerous! I drove a CBR600 and its a flying machine, really really quick it was race tuned and everything. I could borrow that again off me cousin then get the boat from belfast to newcastle or something and then race down. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

you're so right! ;-)
my zx-6r is nothing particularly special, its not tuned or anything, its pretty much a bike you can get from any dealer. it does 0-120 in 12 seconds and thats only 3rd gear, fastest i've had so far is 156mph (in reality probably more like an acutal speed of 140) on the clock with 750 or so revs to the redline and thats with a double-bubble screen, i just ran out of road :| [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

thats 40.86 miles per gallon, that seems a bit good? you sure? :/
wow just read some stuff on bikes, they're really economical, pity you can only get one person on them :/

I've heard some real horror stories, 16 year old lad who lives round the corner from me went out for his first ride on it, got knocked off by the A6 and died. It is a lot more dangerous than cycling or driving if you don't really know what you're doing, so it's worth getting some other experience before you start biking.
And here's Scrappy on a bike:

i've always wanted a bike and this goddamn column has breathed new life into it!!
i should really join a bike forum for this but i like you guys so much i'm gonna give you the questions:
a) what's a good 'starter' bike to go for, i don't mean with f***ing stabilisers on neither. and how much will it cost.
b) how much are lessons
c) maintenance costs?
d) etc etc!

seik, let me explain. u can ride a bike slowly, anyone who does 120+ everywhere anyway is a plank. you have to ride given the conditions, taking risks is pointless. if those conditions involve having someone on the back you just dont go silly.
its not like im a screaming nutcase with a deathwish, they're idiots who should be shot. i just getting out and going fast when i can, my first priority on that thing is staying a live. that and the new paint job i just had done :-)

Cycling in traffic is awful, some f***ing dickhead in a car knocked me right off and wrecked my bike, and I was absolutely f***ed over, with gashes, bruises and lumps everywhere, and the c*** drove off! I was almost hospitalised.
f***ing hate car drivers like that, should be put down [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

As for the point on helmats, i can still hear cars behind me and know they are there, but why would i have to? If you use a proper riding technique, there is no way that you should have any unnasty surprises while > 40 mph.
guessing you lot like the more sporty bikes though. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
