Well after doing this to my last proper motorbike



My partner and daughter will NOT let me near a proper bike anymore!

BUT!!! ......... I am allowed one of these



Which I have to admit is the most fun


Just wondering how the Pit Bike scene is in Oz??

Mine is going in the crate and I hope to find somewhere to use it, but just wondered if they're over there??

Can understand their apprehension. they obviously prefer you alive

kevinbloomfield

I have a good Honda Fireblade for sale if you are interested

Paul2004

Indeed! ...... altho only just at one point


Would love to, but the biddy bike is as far as it goes for me these days.

Well what do you expect if you leave a concrete block in the driveway?

Paul2004

Very good!

JJ

Have you considered a supamoto, I ride one here in blighty (KTM450) and i know KTM have dealership coverage in Oz, Loads of fun, road leagal and mjuch slower speeds than the rocketship R6

Perthforme

Have to agree with all those sand dunes and speed cams on the roads get yer self a ktm i too have 450exc best laugh in the world the more you fall off the better it gets unlike a road bike.

kateandderek

looks like a bad t-bone crash. are the wet marks on your drive from your wifes tears or your own?

derek

You know I'd consider ANYTHING! ...lol, but have to respect other family members really. I'm lucky to be allowed the biddy bike really, but I do love it. I've got a few bits of waste land nearby (one which is 100 acres and was sposed to be a gold course, but it never happened) and I really love it there. I don't go around doin 6' table tops or anything of the sort, just plod around 10 - 15mph trying to get up stupidly steep hills ...lol. As I say, loads of fun and altho I come off here and there, It's never more than a scratch or bruise



LOL, exactly, the more I fall off, the more I laugh ...lol, strange that ?!



Prob mine. yeah all I remember is ................. not a lot! Police said I hit a central reservation between 80 - 120mph, all we know. Bike was found in 5th gear and me 200 yrds up the road!

Live and learn tho

If you want to reasure the wife and kids you can tell 'em I've come off mine 3 times on track days and always picked it up kicked it over and finished the session before even needing to return to pits!!

Perthforme

Dont think i wouldn't bounce so well with out the full head to foot kit on :scared:

Might get some stablisers

kateandderek

you are very lucky dude!
kate fell off hers when she was going 1 mph (in traffic queue moving out of the way of a police car) caused 600 pounds worth of damage and was in shock for a day!!!!! so i can just imagine how you felt.
we do live and learn.

You know the thing was I was gonna look into doing track days b4 the crash. I have a mate that reckoned I'd be good ?!

Had my fun tho, loads of it over the years. Spent a good few as a courier in London which might say something!? ...lol, but ahhhh, just love the ole bikes.

As I say tho, I DO get my kicks with the lil pit bike, hence the post about if they're in Oz or not, and with the choice of that or nothing, it wins every time.

Wheelies in 3rd gear too ....rofl

I am lucky tho, totally messed myself up. Broke both arms, punctured a lung, made a mess of my ribs and over 200 stitches. Spent 4 days out cold and weeks in hospital caught MRSA in there to just to add to it, but thankfully got rid of that

Live and learn tho as I try to keep telling myself ...lol

Paul2004

Yeah I broke my pelvis years ago when I stalled a C90 moped at a set of lights. I don't think I even made 1mph! ...lol
