Motorbikes.

[bikemad]

Seems to be quite a few on here who like motorbikes or their DP's n kids do so thought i'd start a thread bout it.

Me im just as my name says bikemad-my dp has a FZR600.I have just had provisional motorbike added to my licence as hope to take my test in time.My lad adores bikes as most of you will have seen by his room-lol.

When it is the racing season we go to at least two races plus go to bike shows too.

So tell us all about yourself,what bikes you like or ride etc then we can use this thread as a sticky for anything motorbike related we want to natter about.

O n id give my right arm for an mvaugusta f4 but would settle for a R6.

Nice one BM Happy banana

We try to get to 2 races a year as well.Went to Thruxton and Brands Hatch last year.This year if we camp at brands will have to remember my ear plugs.It's unbelievable that theres 120,000 people there and 20,000 on the campsite.

We watch all the races on telly and the kids know that races Sundays are Mcdonalds day so they don't mind to much.Only another 2 weeks until season starts again.Who will you be following?

We support Chris Walker in WSB and last year BSB was a bit of rivalry here cos Dh wanted Rutter to get it but I wanted Shakey(i should have put money on it).
Motogp wasn't as exciting last year except 125 and 250 but this year we are hoping it's better with more GB guys racing.

Dh rides Suzuki blue and white thing but only for commuting to work,i don't ride now but when i was younger used to have a Suzuki RG125 in Pepsi colours.I never passed my test although i tried(put my foot down on a u-turn).

Biking runs in my family,my dad had a bike for most of his life,both b-i-ls ride so i suppose this is where the biking bug comes from.

[Jazzie]

Hi everyone,

Is there room for another one?

I passed my test when i was 30 and had a GSXR 400 done in the Rizla racing colours,this alas didn't last that long as my dh got me pregnant LOL.Still love bikes but have not been riding since Harvey was born :rolleyes:
Hubby lives for bikes and has worked with Ducati all his working life.There isn't one in the garage at home at the moment because he can use what ever he likes from work.He and some others have open velocemotorcycles so he is now one happy bunny.
Harvey has his own quad and he loves to watch daddy race Moto X.He is riding a Honda CRF 450 at the moment and new season started this weekend :D

So yes......bike crazy house this is too
Will post some pickies when i have worked out how too


Kerry

ok,lets see if i can do this....

[bikemad]

Aaaw-dont he look cute on the quad. "Yes"

I'd like to get Jordan an off road bike but I sat him on one in the bike shop n even the smallest was way to big for him so wait a bit.

I love BSB n GP tho used to love WSBK when Bayliss n Edwards were battling it out for the title-the last race was amazing to watch.

In GP I follow-yeah you guessed it-Troy Bayliss-cant wait to see how he does this season.Cant stand Rossi as he is too big for his boots so i'l be intersted to see if he can show it is his riding that wins(now he with Yam) as opposed to what I firmly believe which is that it is the bike n not him that won the races but time will tell.Hope Edwards does better this year too.

In BSB last year I didnt really root for anyone as such but kept a close eye on Shakey,Rutter n Reynolds.

In World it will be intersting to see how Foggy's team do this year after a whole winter to work at the bike.

Counting down to the begining off the season-sunday ritual in our house-lol

We camped at Donny for the last BSB but didnt stay on the Donny track site but on a camp site just behind as didnt think my lad would sleep if we stayed on site iykwim.

Gonna look at prices for camping for the GP in Britain this summer n see bout maybe going to that this year.

Have to make this thread a sticky then thru the season we can chat bout how all the riders are doing.

Happy banana

[bikemad]

Snowy-is the blue n white thing a gsxr by any chance-lol

Happy banana

[bikemad]

Meant to say we are lucky cos in the summer the club racing is near us-the Abedare Road Races-about 15mins drive away and a great day out.

Happy banana

[snowy1974]

Lol,think you may have the right one ,can never remember the bits after the bike make.

Reading the stats from the Valencia tests Corser seems to be going well but Walker was back in 10th or 11th place.

Have you heard anything about a charity race day at Castle Coombe? I think i read that the BSB riders would be involved,might be worth another day out if they are.

Not heard about it but i'm on a motorbike forum so when I go on tomorrow i'l ask if anyone knows about it.

Reckon if Corser had the bike set up right n in tip top condition then he could be a good contender-think it is the bike letting him down tbh.

Happy banana

[bikemad]

Snowy-I looked on the Castle Coombe website and it has a Superbike Race thingy in September-is that the one you mean?

Mentioned it to dp n we may go n take my lad.

Here is a link for the site-let me know if you go n if we go to we can organize to meet up.

Castle Coombe Race Circuit. (http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/)

Happy banana

[snowy1974]

Thanks for the link.Think that must be what i'd heard about.

We'd probably be up for a day out to that so if we go lets arrange something.

Have you been to castle Coombe before? Dh did a track day there but it was raining for most of the day so they din't make the most of it.

My bil recently did a track day there and won some vouchers and another day for completeing the millionth kilometer(or something like that).Turns out they pulled his name out of a hat :D

[Ravenfire]

:( I dont go on bikes anymore. I used to be married to a bike lover, he had a GSX750 and I used to have the full kit, including a lovely Shoei (SP?) helmet. I did try to do my CBT as well but it was a wet day and we were out on the roads and my bike went the opposite way to me..lol..and I decided from then on I was better as a passenger! "ROTFL"

[bikemad]

Snowy-i've not been to castle coombe before but dont know if the other half has or not.Been to pembrey a few times to watch track days or races(club racing)-pretty cheap there.Have you been there?Have you heard of the Aberdare Road Races?It is a weekend thing-I prefer the Saturday but Sun is good too-usually July or August time.

Definatly let me know if you are going and we can arrange to meet up if we are going too.

ravenfire-that would be just my luck to go flying when/if I do my cbt-got the full kit though as always on the back of dp's bike-see my top pic on his bike. "Thumbs up"

Happy banana

[bikemad]

Weyhey-going to look at prices for tickets to GP in Donny n prices for the campsite nearby-fingers crossed. "Thumbs up"

Yippee-it is the first round of WSBK at Valencia on the weekend-who will be watching-us for definate. "Yes"

"biker" "biker" "biker" "biker" "biker" "biker"

Got the times set in our personal planner on Sky Happy banana

Ive been to Castle Coombe once when dh did a track day there.It's about 50 miles from us.

The weekend is just after dh's birthday so i may be able to persuade him to out for the day.

When dh went through his phase of having different hobbies he did a race weekend at Pembrey,sadly he came last and never did it again. "ROTFL"

[bikemad]

snowy-you could always tell him it is a birthday day out-lol "ROTFL"

My birthday last year fell on the Thruxton weekend but this year the closest race is the 25th which I believe is in snetterton.

Best not mention pembrey to the dp then-lol.My dp wants to do a track day but doesnt want to wreck the bike so aint done one yet. :rolleyes:

"biker"

[snowy1974]

The waiting is nearly over jump for joy

We watched the superpole yesterday, i'm gonna have to start learning riders numbers,there's alot of yellow bikes in it this year.

The Fila Ducati's seem to have the edge on it again especially Laconi who was a second faster than Toseland.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Walker and Vermulan(sp?) cos he looks like he's gonna do quite well this year,and go Haslam front row for his first proper race.

"biker" "biker" "biker" "biker"

[bikemad]

Well ten mins into the race and laconi is off n corser is off so will be an interesting race-think the ducatis def have the edge but reckon fp1 will be worth a watch.

Off to watch the race so back on here later to discuss.

"biker"

[bikemad]

That was an interesting first race-bit of an obvious for 1st but 2nd n 3rd were a nice surprise-nice to see Chilli up there and also the fp team did great didnt they.

Just seen tha laconi is out again-what a weekend he has had. :rolleyes:

"biker"

[snowy1974]

We were v pleased with Walkers first race and Haga's win.Nice to see him back with the WSB's.

Oh well only another month until the next race

[bikemad]

Was pleased about Walker coz i'm a big fan of foggy so for his team to do well is great.Got a soft spot for chilli so was really chuffed that he did so well.

Well they gave us a taster n now we have to wait the month for the next one-meanies-lol "ROTFL"

"biker"

[bikemad]

Any of you seen mcn for today-did you see the gp bike that crashed-nice I dont think. :o

Didn't see it,hubby was supposed to bring MCN home!!!!!!!

Oh and i am glad there is another Foggy fan...........my big ole Rotweiler is called Foggy :D http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/sport/sport-smiley-12.gif

[bikemad]

Was gobsmaked this morning-there was a prog on s4c about overcoming probs n prejudices n a biker guy was on there who is totally blind and he was doing all sorts of stunts-stoppies,wheelies,burnouts going around in a circle aand more.Have any of you heard of him as I didnt catch his name-was unbelievable-he has two bikes behind him talking to him just incase there is an obsticle but I still reckon that is amazing for someone that is blind-he wasnt even on a small bike but on a Fazer once and a Hyabusa another time.

"biker" "biker" "biker" "biker" "biker" "biker"

[snowy1974]

I don't know his name but it's amazing what people will overcome to get on a bike.

I remember reading in mcn about a bloke who had lost the use of his legs but had his bike set up so he could still ride it.He had a kind of stabiliser system that came down when he slowed to a certain speed as if he was stopping,so when he stopped at junctions,lights he didn't fall over sideways.

Started counting the days again-7 to go until BSB and next WSB. Happy banana

Would like to but have to see what sort of day I get with ds tbh-if he is have a bad day(behaviour probs)then il be exhausted but want to get up.

My neighbour has just bought a new bike-a yellow Fazer that she gets on Sunday-she did have a Suzy gs500(in yellow).Lucky her.

"biker"

[bikemad]

Snowy did you make it up for 3am? :D

[snowy1974]

Yes i did.Had about 3 hours sleep and im feeling it now.Dh stayed up then fell asleep during the supersport race.

I went back to bed about 7.10 just in time for the kids to start shouting at each other.

Did my ironing while BSB was on so i can have an early night tonight.

Have you seen the racing today?

Was really impressed with Rutter in BSB.Dh has said we will probably go to Thruxton so we'll have to arrange to meet if your going.June 6th is the date.

Not seen it no-not got Sky. :(

Had lie in today anyway as was soooooo tired took advantage of dp getting up. :D

Not sure if we are going to Thruxton this year-been considering Snetterton this year as it is just after my birthday(april 20th my birthday)but as soon as we decide i'l let you know.Whant to go to Donny again too n take ds.

In Denmark it's tradision that when an amusement park called "Bakken" (the hill) opens round spring, anyone who owns a bike rides it there in processions it takes hours n hours but it looks gr8. Rockers n civilians side by side, n loads of police to keep it "clean". I love standing on the brigde n wacht them arrive.

[bikemad]

Ninsi-that sounds brilliant and a great sight to see-has it happened yet this year?If not you'l have to see if ya can snap a pic or two.

Snowy-may be Thruxton now-thinking of going for meal for my birthday so if we do then il organize for me,dp n ds to go to Thruxton-prob camp the night before.Let you know as soon as know.

Wow what great racing today-Motogp was amazing and Rossi proved to me he aint just good on the honda but is a good rider full stop-what a race.

And WSBK-cor did you see Chilli win the second race-11 place midway thru then rode his way all the way up to win-amazing.

Great to see the Foggy team up n second in the 1st race with Corser.

Brilliant weekends racing me thinks.

Quite like Mr Walker as well,have met him a couple of times and he is such a nice bloke.

Hubby is having a stand at Snetterton for British SB so might get to see lots then......cant wait.

Glad to see Foggys team do well,i always liked the guy although i know of many who didn't, our Rotty is named after him! ;lol

Tell me about it-youd never think he was 40 would you.

Was hoping to go to snetterton but cant as stuck with the sd all weekend n wont take her to a bike race as all she does is whinge that she is bored.

We like foggy in this house. "Thumbs up"

[snowy1974]

Racing was so good i watched it again on Eurosport.

What they didn't say on BBC was that Frankie lost his nan last week so he dedicated the race to her.He got quite emotional during the interview.

We've never been Foggy fans here maybe because we came to racing during his last years so never really got that hooked by him,although we can see talent when it's there like Rossi.Not really fans but you can't knock him for what he did yesterday even though we were cheering on Biaggi.

I will say though the FP1 is a really nice looking bike in the flesh and it sounds great so hopefully with new engines they may be up there more often.

[snowy1974]

PS Walkers alright but i prefer Gary Mason from BSB

Aaaw love him-makes the race win even better really if he had that on his mind.

Tbh never liked rossi as always thought it was the bike n not him that won but after the motogp n him winning on the yam he proved he is a dam good rider so I have a bit more believe in him now.

Took this picture yesterday at BSB at Snetterton.Harvey is on Malc Ashley's Superbike and hubby is in the back ground.Hubbys business is helping to sponser Malc for the year.He is one of the leading privateers at the moment and is doing pretty good.Unfortunately he had a bad high side in practice and was riding injured yesterday.
We had a fantastic day with the team and met some really nice people............Keep a look out for him,there are very few in the pits as friendly as this team were!

[bikemad]

Aaaw dont he look so cute.

Glad you had such a great time-if he(not harvey-lol) high sided how well did he ride in the race?

Cant wait to get to a race-ds keeps asking when can we see bikes in real n not on telly so as soon as dp's hours are sorted il sort out going to a race.

Round and round and round they go

Bit of a strange moto-gp today.Shame about the Brits,hope Shakeys ok cos they didn't give an up-date on Eurosport.

Oh well better racing tomorrow hopefully 4 hours of BSB from Oulton and if it rains Rutter may be in with a better chance "Thumbs up"

Yeah saw that crash-how on earth no one was injured is beyond me-scarey or what-ds thought it was hilarious mind to see it n said can he go to watch that one day. "duh"

Priced the guaranteed pass direct access test and it £469. :o but that is guaranteed pass-so that will be the next thing to get sorted mind you got to do theory n hazard perception first.

Dp said if I pass I can borrow his bike when ever I like and when he gets a new one in the next year or two I can have his old one(FZR600)-he wants a Blade or R6 and said after ive been riding a while n he knows im safe I can borrow the new one. Happy banana jump for joy "rara"

"biker" "biker"

[bikemad]

Dp is seriously thinking of getin a new bike-he is hankering after the new blade but id rather the r6 but it aint my bike or money-lol.

Should know in next few days what he will do and if he does get new one the old one is mine so will be def putting in for test sooner than planned. "Thumbs up"

[bikemad]

Dp text me when I was leaving for ds and asked what I thought n did I like the bike and we are a couple so what did I think he should do-long n short of it is he is buying the blade-x reg I think he said it was in Black-it is a gorgeous bike.
So now this eve il be finding best price for my guaranteed direct access test. jump for joy Happy banana

[bikemad]

Well the blade looked as if it had been caned on the race track so we have given that a miss-now he torn between a silver r6 n a metalic blue kwak-think it is the ninja he is buying-it is soooooooo nice-this is apic of one like it.

When we got back to mil who was watching ds(that was a first!!!) ds went on the back up the lane and dp did about 15 mph and ds kept saying faster-lol-he loved it n now wants a blue helmet-lol.His feet actually reach the pegs now were as last year on the fzr they didnt.

Sounds like you made the right choice.

One of the few times I went on back of dh's 6r I nearly came off the back.We'd come down a slight hill coming onto a straight and without warning he opened the throttle up and ducked down behind the fairing. The wind hit me with such force it blew me back,lifted my feet off the footpegs which then folded up.

I was left trying to keep my feet up banging on his shoulder to slow down so I could put the footpegs back down. "ROTFL"

The moral of this story is: don't lift your feet up :D

First time ive used grab rails today as dp dont like em or me but we have got steeeeeeeeeeeeep hills here n going down one at 1mph in a jam n I couldnt stay on the seat and was falling into dp so used them then but boy is it a cool bike-ds thinks it is brilliant n was so chuffed to go up the lane n back on it without me holding him-last time I held him on coz he was little but couldnt have anyway this time as had to run just to stick with the back of the bike-lol.

Ds has now pronounced he wants a blue ninja with a blue helmut n leathers for him to ride at the front fast!!!!!!!!! "duh"

Yeah uh o re ds "duh"

The sound on em is amazing n dp had the scorpion race can on so was even louder but have changed it now to a micron road legal one coz the cops are clamping down big time around here on tinted visors n race cans-oooops we got both-lol

[snowy1974]

Sounds a good enough reason to me.

We don't seem to have the clamp downs on cans and visors just speeding around here.

The road dh travels to work on always seems to have cameras on.He said "he thinks he got flashed yesterday".I asked "how fast were you going"."Oh only about 100"

So now we just wait.....

[bikemad]

LOL-my neighbour was peefed today-there is a stretch of road covered in cameras n she still does 110 every day on it yet she got caught for speeding doing 49 on another road-she reckoned she wouldnt have minded if there was some speed but 49. "thud"

Dp got points for speeding about 3 years ago but that was the car but he is extra careful now if he knows there are cameras.

The cops are speed camera and racecan mad around here tbh-if we go on the brecon,llandovery then abergavenny run on a sunday there are hundreds of them around just waiting to pounce.

Thanx snowy-il warn dp.We were hoping to go out on it for the day sunday but cant find anyone to have ds-my parents have him once in a blue moon at a push n mil cant cope with him so looks like we wont be out sunday.

Dp looking at what alarm is best now as it aint alarmed at the moment-he wants a datatag but also either a meta alarm or datatool but he dont know which cos he dont know which is better. "duh"

[bikemad]

Had a great ride sunday-see chitchat thread in general.

Here is our bike as opposed to someone elses in the pic above-this is ours n dp is the one with the fag.

Really wanted to go but wont be able too this year-hopeing to get to Donny plus the Aberdare road races in July.

Is it still ok for you to get that tshirt for ds if I give you the money?Do you want me to send it before n how much-pm me re it if you want.

Yeah I love the bubble screen too.Dp was all set on the R6 but ds spotted this 'big blue bike' lol in Wayne Bowens near us so told dp n he was sold on it-so choice of bike goes to a 5 yr old-lol.

"biker"

[snowy1974]

Lol comes to something when your children pick the bikes for you.

Don't worry about t-shirt I'll get it and let you know after about the rest.

Just going with my parents and sister+bil cos dh is out the night before so won't get back in time. Last time we went the exhaust fell off my mums car on the way home,she has a different car now so hope nothings gonna happen with that one.

[bikemad]

Tell me about it-went in the shop n I was looking at the cbr600 for dp n ds says no,ant will like this big blue bike n low n behold dp bought it-lol

Thanx re the tshirt-dont matter what colour but it the one with BSB2004 on front n all the different tracks on the back-age 5 should be about right for him-thanx so much.

Hope this car stays in one piece-lol

Found a better pic of the bike I took in Brecon the other day.

Did you make him stop just to have his piccie taken. :D

[bikemad]

No he told me we were going for me to take photos of the bike n him-ended up taking about 40!!!!! "duh"

Wants to get a good one and blow it up to 20x30 n frame it. "thud"

[snowy1974]

I want to see the action shot of him zooming past.

[bikemad]

Wanted to take one like that this time but didnt have time cos he had to get back for work-wants to have a ton more taken so when we do I wanna get some action shots and someone on a photography site suggested a good idea too but sounds complicated too pull off but it is dp on bike n me sitting down low to the left or right side n get pic with dp on bike plus the reflection of me in leathers on the fairing but it needs a tripod n timer and im useless with the timer-lol.Be good to try tho on a sunny day.

Snowy-how did corser do today cos he had pole position didnt he-not got sky. "cry"

[snowy1974]

He had a great superpole we watched it last night.

He had a 4th in the first race and crashed in the 2nd while in 4th.Racing was a bit dire tbh,they were so drawn out.

We had to wait until 7pm to watch the 2nd race,they showed the first live on Eurosport then went over to the tennis :ph43r: "duh" "mad" "mad" "mad"

[bikemad]

Watched it in the end-well highlights at 12 last night-poor corser-he was doing pretty well before he crashed.

Saw some huuge crashes on sat in pembrey n one guy flew off the side car and had to have a helicopter take him to hospital-ds now think bikes are even more cool cos they go fast n are good for crashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"duh" "thud"

[bikemad]

We had a brill day today.The ride there n back was lovely tho extremly early-lol-and on way home was like dodge the ideot in a car but good ride none the less.

Racing-wow-you should have seen chilli go from 16 to 3rd n haga raced his butt off both races n imo deserved to win the second race too.

walker deserved a medal for riding that fp1 with 3 broken ribs.

Was gutted when chilli had an off in race two.

We look like lobsters mind but what the hell it was a good day out-got home at 10 but by time we put the bike away n got ds it was 11 so im off to bed in a mo as im shattered-lol.

Will sort pics tomorow n see who n what we got.

Looks like things will be crucial by the time donny comes round.Only fifty points between Rutter and Reynolds.It's Cadwell on Monday so it's all to play for now. ::banana::

[bikemad]

Haha-no id be surprised if he slept thru these-lol.Still gobsmaked he slept thru a motogp race-the noise was unbelievable n he didnt even stir!!!!!

Yeah should be good cos the championship is really close so should be some great racing.
