windlestone Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 looks really uncomfortable on those tyres you need to fit some gnarly tyres and get some street cred Barry Can't see snapped spoke but spotted where your shopping basket clips on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Must admit been looking for some slicks for the Beta for a while now, can't believe you spotted the shopping basket marks though! Took them off with their contents of TCP and Corn flour just for the shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham2 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Well as I have just bough the new toys I wondered what the rest of you do with your spare time? Obviously mine are all on 2 wheels Must remeber to take a picture of the roadie some time! Thanks Barry ,you dont know it but you've help me make a decision. I seem to have less and less spare time these days and I get a lot of peer pressure to buy a road bike(and ditch the Sherco)as it's less time consuming i.e gear on press the starter and away. They say that the human brain(male especially) reacts best to visual stimulus. Looking at that picture there is only one bike there that lights my fire, the trials bike, a Beta even!!

ham2 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Nope I'm just plain leftist! either that or the sun was right in my eyes that way! Looking at the tarmac beneath the Bandit it looks like you've been doin' a burnout..are you a nuisance neighbour?? When my brother had a Bandit he never washed it so I took pride in writing 'ar5e' in the dust just before it's name.. Juvenile or what?

madcr500 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I bet that CR is a right animal on the road! Must be fun though Yep, animal indeed. Loads of fun though. A bit dear to run and its taken a long while to get it to where it is now but its all worth it when i'm leaving those race reps on a sunday. 7-12mpg, 400 mile out of a rear tyre, 3000 mile out of a piston (if im lucky) but does the quarter in 10.52 and thanks to some recent mods now tops out at 130mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
