October 8, 201015 yr Author The bike and rider.....................2011 we got the rider but No Bike as of yet? Watch this space?
October 8, 201015 yr I can t beleive you two are actually racing a proper bike and not a 4rtank......
October 9, 201015 yr Author Right? Bit of an update as we need to get things moving and thanks for the replies. Below is what we are thinking of using? Now your thinking why? I will take no praise apart from the ''Racing'' so it was Justin's thinking? Tim, his wife Helen and myself have birthdays in May within 3 days of each other so our Star Sign is Taurus, so where does that leave Justin...............?? Remember me saying he drinks a lot of Red Bull? We may have an answer!! He is also full of Bull Sh*t so that fits too (sorry mate!!) As we have both said we will be moving on this by middle of next week so it ain't over yet for any other suggestions and thoughts Cheers M&J
October 9, 201015 yr Tim being a very good ex trials rider, note the finger covering the clutch, you can spot all trials riders in road racing doing this, I did it and I saw Scorpa3 on his pics as well
October 10, 201015 yr All these bikes look the same to me anymore, what is it? Only thing I can ID is a Pennicle sticker, Pennicle what? Is it a Suzy? A 750 or what? I nreally do not have a clue, as I am out of it! All look the same to me. I just take an occasional spin on the Fireblade of one of the lads at work. Does me for a while, just nuts! If we had these when I was young, doubt I would tell today. Killed off quick! Cafe racing was in, back then!
October 10, 201015 yr Mark, the bikes a k5 Suzuki 1000 gsx-r, 5 year old bike and cost 4 grand, competes against against bikes costing 10 times or more than that and with 60 bhp more so he's done well this year. Heres an onboard clip of Tim at a practice day at Mallory Park this summer, Tim is following our friend Darren Jones (#28) to check his lines for him and lapping about 4 seconds slower than his normal pace
October 10, 201015 yr Another pic of Tim down the elbow at Mallory, Tim on the finish line with his trophy and lastly the bike after his massive crash at the last round in September
October 10, 201015 yr I'm fixing this now And my Wifey thinks it bad when I crash me Sherco. She should be thankful I don't road race........I know I am. Those guys are crazy. very skilled and talented.......but still crazy!
October 11, 201015 yr Those things never did well in the dirt! Just killer! Maybe he needs one of them Motard things! Looks like it may cost more to fix than it is worth! Seems you only get one shot on those things.
