Dream Garage

[996 sps]

You have the money, what would you have in that garage?

Myself, RD 250 LC, R7 on pistonheads at the mo, 996 SPS, 998 R oh RD 500 RG 500 and an NS 400.

All mint, i'd sit in the garage with them in the winter just staring!

[runnersp]

I'd actually quite like your nickname in my garage. But apart from that I can't really complain with mine, only addition besides a 996SPS would probably be an MV F4 1000R.

Rainey's 91 YZR 500 Grand Prix bike, Haga's World Superbike R7, Rossi's 07 Moto gp bike and one of Bazza's 500's, Foggy's 1994 916 Duke. Would also like a FS1E, too relive my youth.

Your right, Mark Farmer was sadly killed in a practice crash, Nick Jefferies rode the other one.

Yep you where right, just done a search on google. Put in TT racer Mark Farmer also took looked at an entry list of the F1 Championship of 1991, had Jamie Whit, John Reynolds etc and Simon Beck who also passed away at the TT.

I saw one of those go 214 mph last year at Woodbridge

[Buelligan 984]

Busamav,

It was "only" 211 mph.

The definitive list is here: http://www.750turbo.com/fastones.htm

Not that it really matters, 211 mph from 810cc is still pretty impressive!

[RemaL]

I would have ( all mint of course)






for a start

sorry, exagerating again

I saw that run too, i was the starter that day.

Lorc was a regular in the 200 + runs . When he went 211 he didnt want to ride it again that day as there was a dyno shoot out the following day .

I suspect there isnt a soul on earth who knows more about those bikes than the pastie muncher

[RedBull]

Ahhh, the old "If I win the lottery" garage, always fun. OK, let's see

Keep my 748SPS and add:

Honda RC30
Honda VF1000R
Kwack GPZ1100A (boyhood dream bike)
Yamaha OWO1
Kwack ZXR750R K1
Suzuki GSXR1100 slabbie in Skoal Bandit colours (remember them? not many made)
Duke 1098S
Duke Desmosedici
MV F4 312R
Victory Hammer (for those slower days)
Kwack KLR650 (for those very, very many wet days )
