Times u r reminded how quick bikes are compared to a Zed...

I know theres a few bikers on here so you'll like this......

 

So there I was cruising down the M25 in the fast lane,

staying under the 100mph licence looser limit,

and I catch a glimpse of something in the rear veiw,

After closer inspection it was a motorbike makin ground fast.

So I pull into the middle lane to allow him to pass,

He proceeds to pull up along side,

Obviously wanting to demonstrate the finer arts of a bike....

 

He then put it on its back wheel,

and accelerated away at a MOFO of a speed well in excess of 120mph doin an estimated 40-60ft wheelie. :dance:

 

I nearly kum in my pants :eek:

 

This kinda thing just reminds me just how fast these road/race bikes are compared to cars...

 

Unfecking beleivable

 

Dont ask me what bike it was...........It was a FAST one.

I know it wasnt a Ducati...wrong sound.

 

I really wish I had recorded it for all you lot to see but I had no time to get my phone out and probably wouldnt of been the safest thing to do whilst driving anyway :nono:

 

Seeing this now makes me wanna spend my week off next week re-builing my MotoXer and getting some air-time.

 

:bow: Respect to all bikers and especially the dude on the bike for making my day :bow:

What bikes did u have then sarge??

I dont know why...think it was the sound but i had a thing for the ZXR-750...looked fantwango :bow:

nearly bought my mates few years back but thought id only live till the weekend....my bro had a GSXR-750 and that was reasonable...plenty o power with a very agile chassis.

 

I thought they were to dangerous so i got into MotoX racing....FFS..what a :xxx: .....one of the most dangerous sports going....seemed like a good idea at the time....wernt till the broken bones and fractured skulls that you stop to think...correction...we motoXers dont have a brain...thats why they link the circuit up so we dont get lost. :wack:

bugger that..... 150 without a screen to duck under....

bet you have big arms to hold on at that speed! and a strong neck mate

 

I saw the needle pointing at 165 on my gsxF 750, (dunno how acurate it was) but that was right under the screen... was bleedin noisy though - Shoei helmet, not the quietest

respect the z iv beat a few bikes in the z,obviously not power house bikes but respectable ones,but yeh some bikes are sickinly quick :shock:

:dance: :dance: :dance: i have actually seen a zed turned into a trike chunk !!!!! :dance: :dance:

Theres been many a time I've beaten the kid next door on his bike. He tells me its a pretty good one too with shimano gears and front fork suspension.

 

Does'nt matter how much weetabix he has, still cant pedal fast enough !

pmsl!!! :slap:

Yup, you've got to spend a MAC amount of money on a Z to get it anywhere near as quick as a modern superbike. Most new ones, straight out of the crate will do a standing quarter in around 10 seconds! :eek: :D The feeling of the wind blast and the scream of the engine as it climbs above 14,000 rpm with the front wheel clawing at the sky is a truly AWSOME experience (and one I really really fookin miss :cry: :cry: - I don't miss the operations and physio though)

LOL Had Bikes all my life and even with a MAC Z amount spent I won’t be able to catch them off the mark, however rolling at 70mph well that's a different story;)

It sounds like you and chunk had real serious spills. Mine were bad enough to have arthritis in my left hip and wrist and a good few scares to make me think twice about another bike, but I'm still toying with the idea of a Buel 750 just for the sunny days. You just carn't beat that feeling of nailing a real twisty section of road when you've had both pegs touching.

Had 14 bike accidents in total and a couple of them were pretty bad, the rest were just blind tw@ts smashing into me at red traffic lights. Having a door opened onto my GSX-R, flying through the air and landing in the rear of an open top MG was unpleasant. A dumb blonde turning accross my path and my head going through her windscreen was scarey, but not as bad as when I looked down at me crotch and saw blood (Fireblade tanks are quite high at the back and there was a tank/family jewels interface :eek: :wack: ) The worst was a Merc van that swung into my lane on a dual carriageway at 70(ish). My left femur made a 3 foot long tear in the side of the van (didn't do much for the femure either!) but I then bounced off the van and hit a road sign post on the central reservation, fracturing 3 vertebrae, breaking the right side of my rib cage off my spine, puncturing a kidney, fractured right wrist and out for the count for 3 days! :wack: :wack: :( Called it a day after that - bought a nice safe car (Z), lost the rear end on diesel in the wet and hit an on-coming Mondeo, which almost chopped the Z in half! But at least I walked away - and no bloody nut-sack! :eek: :D

f*ckin ell! u ought to get urself a nice safe megane or somethin and stay below 30mph!

Yeah, it was bloody funny when I look back on it! GERONIMO!!! :D

 

 

The bloke who got an unexpected 'passenger' was a great bloke though. He saw the whole thing in his mirror and was a witness for me. I got a nice pay-out on that one and went on a safari and beach holiday to Kenya. The bike (another GSX-R) was pretty much destroyed as it smashed into the back of a parked lorry after I got off it at about 50mph. :eek: Thank fook for race leathers, body armour, Alpinestars and Shoei!

4 more weeks and mine should be on the road:D Cant wait, went past box hill on the way home today, rammed:D

Hmmmmm.....Box Hill. Can't beat a tripple decker Rykers burger with pineapple rings! Sounds disgusting, but just the memory has got my mouth watering!

 

It was YEARS ago that I last went there, and the coppers used to line every road for miles around, hairdryers at the ready to catch anyone doing the 'Brighton Express'. Is it still like that?
