That was in a car park incidently... im a law abiding and conciencous road user (with poor spelling), who does not condone such antics on Her Majestys highways and byways...
Tis all...
Yeah that is true.. and soz to hear about ya mate, but for me the pleasure i get out of bikes far out-weighs what i see as risks..
In the summer my bike is a huge part of my life.. i can have one without the other!!
And like you say its not all about performance.. how many time do you...
Got my clio on 3 wheels for the first time (i think) today... gave it some on a tight right hander and defo felt it... might have happened before but this time im 100% sure it did it.. hee hee
Thats another clio party trick tried and tested then...
I wanted a black one but when i saw the silver with anthracite alloys i had to have it!! i think it looks absolutley awsome.. if it wasnt an import (and i bought from dealer) i would have got a racing blue, but im well chuffed with mine.. wheel colour defo sets the bodywork off..
Dont worry about the squeeks man.. mine had afew but nothing a few bits of well placed sponge and packing didnt cure..
just hurry up and get it run in.. 172s will be peeing all over u for the first 100 miles!! hee hee
Im not debating overall laptimes arent quicker in f1 but a gp bike CAN match a f1 car in acceleration..
and as for bikes and cars on tracks... ive done trackdays at croft in my car and on my bike and no way would the car have been quicker.. Real world cars just dont compare to real world...
well in the dry its reversed... worn tyres are grippier cos the treadblocks dont move as much and the contact patch is greater. in the wets is more dangerous like
u saying a gp bike does 180 in 19.4 seconds?? u must be crazy man... a standard gsxr 100 does 0-186(v-max) in way less than that...
its common sence that a bike with no drag what so ever will accelerate quicker than a f1 car once rolling.. The bike doesnt feel drag like a car so just...
U gotta see a live race. Its unbelievable..The noice and impression of speed is wickid.. The only 4 wheel stuff that comes close is WRC.
Horses for courses though
at least rossi makes it intresting. could have stayed wit HRC but didnt... and he beat gibenau on the 2nd to last corner.. only had to finish 3rd to take the title..
thats entertainment
Your right. Totally in-comparable... Still a good discussion though.
But F1 sucks man! Shumacher has ruined it. The last great season was Villeneuve in 1997.
Its dead now. Cant see it coming back now..
Thats what makes it so much more demanding.. The riders position is everything. what sets the greats apart. shifting weight around the bike. Amazing people. Deserve every penny the earn. Absolute superstars.
Well WRC is class.. Those guys really have bottle and pure skill (just like bikers tee hee!!) and it is entertaining...
Circuit racing really is crap though has to be said.
Hear Hear
Superbike is a tuned road engine... I mean u can go to cresent and buy the parts of the shelf for your road bike.. Hardly F1 standard is it?
One more point... Schumacher= robot, boring, nonce, F1 killing, dull.... Rossi= entertaining, crowd pleasing, sport promoting...
