    There’s also a couple of very short vids on their FB page showing a bunch of them in flight 🙂

    Why am I begining to think that this is all staged?.:eek: Just have that “Gut feeling”. Or perhaps it’s just me being a bit pessimistic.

    Was in the same area today. I parked up for a while. Gixerboy wasn’t around, assuming he ran out of bikes after wadding 2 last weekend. In the video there’s a guy pulled over on the left, on a blue/white R1 (or gixer?) without a fairing. The reason he pulled over there was so he could also do a Uturn where brainiac dumped his gixer last sunday. I saw that guy again today & he ran up & down that road about 6 times, stopping to do a uturn exactly where his thickheaded oppo crashed last weekend..

    my instructors attitude was the limmits are there for a reason !!

    Revenue generation… 😉

    imbeciles that pass thier test at 40 something then go round to the local bike shop and buy the biggest sport bike possible to go and terrorise the roads and other road users on a sunny sunday once a month or maybe weekly if thier wives let them whilst videoing it for you tube

    None of them in our group, we won’t ride with weekend ******s. (we did once, it didn’t end well). Been riding on the street since ’76 & the current bike has just a hair under 100,000 miles on it. Hopefully it will beat the 165,000 miles I had on my ’83 GPz1100… When the ZRX rolls over 100K I know I’ll be over 1.5M miles total, I already am, but I don’t count miles on other peoples bikes, just my Kaw’s including 800K as a London courier.
    My ex missus took her test on a ’78 Z1000-A2… her first bike…

    That Kawasaki of yours probably sticks the fear of Christ into the odd Sports bike rider too.:):)

    A.

    It’s a bit quicker than stock since I stuffed the engine full of ZZR11 parts 😀 The ride last weekend was 4 ZRX’s, a ZX10 & a one day old Z1000. We made good progress…
    I also got a video of some chap in an Exige waving me past on a blind left hander with oncoming traffic. I declined his invitation as I could see round the corner, but he couldn’t because his butt was a lot closer to the ground. I stayed behind him enjoying the view for a mile or so.
    As for “hunt the overtake”, CHP riders are instructed to ride a bit faster than the rest of the traffic as it’s found to be safer that way to travel by bike. They don’t always appreciate civvies knowing that, but it will usually get you out of a ticket… depending on ones interpretation of “a bit faster”.

    Wondering what the crank is flying around in… 😉

    you might be surprised at the attitude of many instructors (both civilian and Police) to speed and it’s useage–also filtering and other stuff.

    Wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve had conversations with Laura Norder where they have question exactly why I felt the need to travel at fairly rapid levels of motion & been told to “take it a bit easy in future”.. & that includes 105mph on a freeway by the CHP, also 85 in a 50 & 90 in 55 on the same road, two weeks apart by the same Dibble… & not even been given a written warning, let alone a Performance Award… & that’s without asking for mercy/a warning/promising not to be a **** in future etc. They just look at my advanced age, documents, run me through the computer to see if I’m *known* to them & tell me to ****** off:)
    Last time, I was asked why I was going 63 in a 45 (truck, not the bike) I said ‘I guess I had my head up my ass”. Cop laughed & let me go 🙂
