A picture a day....biker banter (Vol 3)

Depends what you mean by 'his quote'. Simoncelli DID say it, it just didn't originate from him.

A trip to Orkney while the weather was good......



Returning home via Struie Hill.............

Met a lad called Joe today on his immaculate Cagiva 125.

I love the looks of the Cagiva Mito. There will not be that many left in that sort of shape, most of the ones you see for sale look fit for scrap.

Nice

A nice 110 mile ride this morning bonding with my new girl! Only had her a month or so but starting to get my confidence back after 5yrs out of the saddle.

Took the thunderace out for a ride;



Gets more attention than I expected!

Enjoying it?

[SAS Tom]

Yeah, it's good, should keep my attention for longer than a few weeks. I know it's not up to modern standards but is quick, handles well and stops well. It's more relaxed than my dad's Fireblade which makes it easier for covering longer distances and can take my girlfriend on the back comfortably.

It's a good replacement for the VFR but adds a lot more speed into the equation!

Went camping with a mate this weekend, returned with the odo at 5 miles off 11,000. Also managed to snap a head stud doing a decoke on the head last week so am awaiting on parts to put it right as I feel a slight loss of compression. Bit of a shame as its the first money I've had to spend on it aside from service parts.

[Yazza54]

Great does it feel heavy? Always thought they looked a chunky fker

[Yazza54]

That was meant about the thunderace!

[SAS Tom]

People keep asking me that and it does look like a massive bike but it's lighter than the VFR and much lighter than the BMW. It's heavy compared to your R1 and most other modern sportsbikes though.

Very nice! I had the same Black Dream edition until I sold it earlier this summer. Great bike.

Finally got the Ducati back, wheels re-painted, fairing touched up and carbon fibre brought up to 'new' standard, can't wait to get out on her now:

is it hanging on the wall or are you just a retard when it comes to using a potato?
