I'll just continue here
things I've done and ratings
10 mins after someone agreed to buy my fs1e and telling me not to fall off it,I said that I wouldn't and then did
first time I got the pegs down on my rd125dx
discovering that my x7 wheelied like a mad thing when cold
first proper engine rebuild of my honda 4oo four
falling off my z500 on a roundabout whilst following my mate ,he ALWAYS went through town , panic front end braking
crashing my honda 400f with my (then) girlfreind on the back at 70mph, in jeans and wearing a wax cotton jacket
discovering that z650s weren't as good as everyone claimed
buying my z1000j2 and discovering that it went in top the way the 650 did in third
discovering that the z1000 pulled wheelies off the throttle and stayed up 'til you hit 3rd
riding down a road that I used to live on and grinding the stands , pegs etc, which led to----
crashing my z1000 at 130mph, the only crash I ever had that I wasn't worried about the condition of the bike, lucky, very lucky, I escaped with only 6 stitches
buying my gsxr1100h at the time norwich union just about pulled out of bike insurance, thay made it a lot cheaper as noone wanted big bikes
grinding the footpegs and the end of the can on the r11 at 120mph, that was a sweet handling bike after the crap that I grew up on, top bike
buying a gsxr1100k that had 150hp at the back wheel, I saw 180mph on the clock. that I am seriously embarrassed about, worst handling bike I ever owned
putting maxton suspension on my bandit 12, it made it a very good , comfortable and quick road bike, that one did 165 a few times
buying my first bmw, a k1200rs, 130hp, 150mph, a good compromise
gs1150 gsa, buying this is on a par with my gsxr1100h, both bikes are superb at what they are supposed to do
as you can see my whole biking life I have basically been a twat, I simply haven't done it when others have been around , and that is what I really object to
please remember that I was a youngster when I did most of these things
you won't be that interested in the above, but if any of it amuses you , then good
let the piss taking begin

Ah yes, that's the man. Steve Knight went to my school...
I think we ought to get KakMat out to get dirty...
I haven't had the pleasure yet!I may even learn something.....
my previous post
makes me look a twat, it was supposed to.
I was lucky, by the time I was 18 I was a qualified m/c instructor with starrider, this meant that I got to ride with very experienced riders at a very young age
we also had instruction from the police regularly in advanced riding techniques
I passed my advanced test when I was 19 and was training to teach to the advanced level when starrider went bust
I was an instructor for close to 5 years and it was good fun
all the posts about lean angles are misleading
what actually happened was that I was lucky enough to ride 14 miles to work on fast a roads, before speed cameras were ever invented and they didn't have all those 30, 40 & 50 limits on good a roads, this coupled with owning the big bikes for an average of 4 years each and the teaching I'd had meant that I could gradually explore mine and the bikes limits
what I can't do is just get on a bike and ride it hard, it takes me about a year to get to know a bike
there are others with much more ability out there than me and I'm more than happy to admit it
I think I must have covered about 150000 miles on bikes, by god I am getting
go on take the piss if you want to, but instead why don't you just post your story

Only thing you will learn
I reckon the only thing you might learn of me is that it's only a bike, it's a GS so i don't care if i fall off off road and my bike does get an annual clean .....however, it is meticulously maintained, muck and dirt never hurt anything
However, if you want to know about paddling boats or lambing I might be able to help
In the meantime Kakmat(and i'm normally up to my armpits in it) will continue to ...............on a regular basis.

yeap
Yes Rob' we spoke about it before So if he has a couple of canoes and paddles etc, that means we have the basis for a West Mid's canoe trip on the Wye. DirtyDog plainly has a proper solo boat so maybe we can organize a trip in the wye...................... Gerry H. did a little weekend last eyar and boats can be hired from Glasbury. An alternative weekend to the bikes or a day out. Who'se interested, maybe a new thread needed
