How hard did you hit that fireman?!

He was a big guy...

They must know everyone will do burnouts and the like with these hire cars. I think the hire car we had had less than 1mm of tread on one of the rear tyres (as the RCMP cop kindly told us after the crash).

So people like Smack murder a set of tyres, then people like gwm drive them without checking?

Hmm, is there a lesson there?

Probably not.

Good effort. This was the result of me renting a SS...

I can believe that. After driving one for three weeks in America i was about ready to drive it into a fireman as well.

Totally sh*t gear box. Brilliant roofless driving however.

For Podman

Are they both in your stable?

Yes both mine

Very nice indeed.

Fair enough weather today to take the GSXR1000 for its first outing of the year.



Nice to get it away from it's perceived natural environment of council estates, flat roof single storey pub car parks, and outside Lidl.

Don't be daft! bikes are just to make man caves look pretty. No-one rides them!

Old header pipe holes


New stainless steel headers and a cheap pipewerx back box


Baffle is already out, pops and burbles off the throttle and it gets rather shouty when the VTEC kicks in

That blasted past me on the London DGR last year. The noise was sublime!

Not bikey...

Met up with a Pher for a drive yesterday. empty roads, nice scenery..

Nice!

I just got back from Banff, similar scenery, amazing roads.

Not the most exciting photo, but significant for me - on 26 Jan I got knocked off my bicycle (SMIDSY!) causing a fractured vertebrae. Today (complete with back protector, lumbar support belt, full leathers, new C3 helmet and hiviz vest!) was the first time I've been back on two wheels since. A 45 min commute to central London. It'll be another couple of weeks before I'm cycling again so I'm enjoying the Tiger for now

Sorry to hear that but well done on the recovery and jumping back on 2 wheels.

Good to see you're on the mend, hope the first ride out goes well
