And here it is! :roll: I still think it looked the nuts! It was faster than my SRX400! :x

Is was Advertised as Purple! :oops:

LOL I think I would go for the first set! :wink:

Well I had a TZR that was Pink!

Oh and the New Fazer does look much better than the Old one. :wink:

I have nothing against Naked bikes. I just dont like the look of the Fazer. This is a Yamaha site after all but in my opinion the Hornet and the Bandit look better. I know the Fazer out performs the Bandit etc etc. I also like the V twins. The Raptor in particular. V Twins are cheap to insure too.

But they look SH*T :sealed

I had to wear an Orange BIB! :roll:

LOL

New Style Tread Pattern Old Style Tread Pattern By saying you have an RR on the front I take it you mean the old pattern. I have a set of 208GP tyres that I am selling if anyone is interested. 170 Rear 120 front £80 :wink:

you have been riding a 125 for years and now thinking of getting an R1? Thats a big leap. Have you thought about 400's? Fast enough round most runs and handle well too :wink: FZR400 is the only Yam I can thin of. :roll:

:shock:

Are we talking New Tread or old style? i raced an r1 in the wet on 208's and didn't get passed. Although they didn't feel all that stable and I had a few slides at times.

That is the standard bike light. And the Stains on the floor are because I just washed it. :wink:

Thanks very much guys. :wink:

I uploaded it onto my own site. :wink:

Is there anywhere we can upload our photos to show in the Gallery? I have finally got a few pics of my SRX. :wink:

1 peice for saftey. 1 peice for comfort. 2 peice for practicallity when its warm and you want to take your jacket off. I would say that on the bike they would both be as warm as each other. i have never got cold when I am racing. Even when it was snowing! :shock: My hands on the other hand (lol) were freezing! :x

I live at the edge of the world and the bike shops here help me out with discount and things. I have tried lots of things. I get discount and free things from lots of places but its the cash for tyres and race entries that I need. I have a glossy portfolio all about my racing that I sent off to 100's of companies last year. I got a Sponsorship Deal off KBC helmets so I got 2 free helmets and about 10 Visors. This is all good but at the end of the day I didn't need a new helmet. But hey I wasn't going to say no! I got a free set of Leathers and Gloves off Rev-it which was very nice indeed. I am part of a sceme some may not know called http://www.adopt-a-racer.org.uk You can adopt me for £10 a month. have a look http://www.theletmegroup.com/adopt/Racers/...mark_talbot.htm The lady that runs this is also the manager of the endurance team I have riden for a few times. We are trying to think of some major ideas and things to get me a ride in the R6 cup or British Superstocks next year. Anyway. We are drifting a little from the topic. :roll:

I wish! I am an Apprentise electrical and Instrument tech. At the min my wages are pretty poor. It gets to me a little cos I have ridden in the thick of things on an old bike but cant go any futher without any backing or cash. I have a buget of £3k for a season when other spend more than £10k on tyres. Not trying to blow my own trumpet but in the Endurance race at Oulton on the R1 my avarage lap was fatser than the 4th Fastest lap in the British Superstock. The problem is I dont have a competative bike or the moeny to run at that level. Anyone want to Sponsor me??

It will all be ok. You only need to have one foot on the ground anyway cos the other one will be covering the back brake. Unless your racing and then the other foot will be under the gear lever getting ready to hook up into second! :twisted:

I wish I could matey! Cost me about £1000 in parts for the bike! :roll:

Thanks very much!

I have had a few biggies on the track but I have walked away from all of them. My worst crash was on the start finish straight of Anglesy when another bike turned into me as I was passing and I went off the left hand side of the track hit the rummble strip and grass and went down at about 130. I broke my wrist, a few fingers and my thumb. This was just from trying to slow myself down with my hands. Other than this I have had a Highside at Donington coming onto the Start/Finish straight and it flipped my bike about 5 times and really made a mess of it! :roll: I did a few cartwheels and landed on my head (so no damage there). Other than that I have just has the usual racing crashes where you slide and bounce and then stand up like nothing has happened. :wink:
