Zx12 my personal favorite. Couldn't live with anything as Ugly as the Hiyabusa.

Fast bikes magazine of that era had something of a reputation. Responsible for bringing some top class racers to the for. Sean Emett, Shakey (Shane) Burn, Paul Frost, Amdy Ibbot now runs Californis super bike school, among others.

Probably not a good idea to put them on road bikes though, being honest.   


Turk, your a very naughty man.

I only asked if that was the display of disgraceful behaviour you were refering to.
You won't catch a Harley rider behaving in such an infantile manner !!!

I never saw a "Hardly Movin', son" look so ridiculous - like one of those sad circus elephants forced to stand on its hind legs

What is it with riding everywhere on the back wheel? Are they trying to reduce tyre wear or something?

Would they not feel more at home on a motorised unicycle?

You mean this?

That looks like it will take you to one destination only. A&E.

I don't think it can go fast enough for that though - it's basically a Segway in drag: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-562726/Hold-tight-The-worlds-unicycle-MOTORBIKE.html

Ahh.. So it's worse than that. Just software stopping you falling on your @rse? Nooo chance!

I'm a little late to the party on this one but...

Yes, the guy was speeding at, IMO, an inappropriate time. But, the riding on the rear wheel aside, the high speed riding was generally quite safe... But the observation was very poor I don't ride any more but will openly put may hands up and confess to riding above the limit when I did... In reality, there are very few riders/drivers who can truthfully say the don't speed

If I'm speeding I like to keep a good eye on what's going on... If something seems to be tracking me I'd rather let it pass

Oh... And I took my bike test when I was doing recovery for a living and saw some real stomach turning bike accidents At the end of the day, if everything I saw when doing that job changed the way I live, I wouldn't leave the house

fk 'im - one less power ranger on the road and a nice harvest of organs for the local a & e - go faster ya big jessie - faster damn you!! 

i wonder if i'd sustain a scratch in a car? his best hope is to rag doll over the roof and land safely on tarmac with maybe just half of him horribly disfigured for life......maybe just his head would make it over the roof, amusing but someone would have to clean the blood and guts from the rear parcel shelf or would he just mash into the back with little or no air?  :-?

 ... or, in a touche style...

hopefully he'll jump, leaving the bike planted in the car and hence removing one more righteuos thingy from the earth, while his air bag equiped leathers dampen the blows allowing him to walk away...


... go on then BJ, your turn  lets see how low we can get... 

yep, thats by far the most likely scenario 

going low is certainly a possibility, and deliberately sliding the bike is probably the safest option, take your chances i guess - although having the reactions to make such an adjustment is asking a lot.

remember, nowadays you can get little kevlar usb memory sticks on a chain - allows the emergency services to see what the large red smear on the tarmac was and if said smear had a contact number.

theres probably room for donor info, and even a short message to loved ones..ahem.."if you're reading this it means i'm either 1)dead or 2)vegetabilised if 2) please kill me. and you were right about me on that bike - ta ta"
