Posted October 1, 200420 yr A mate is filming this week for the Men and Motors Used Bike Heaven because someone dropped out last minute. Well the person for next Thursday and Friday has also dropped out so guess who's filling in. Yep it's me. :jump All I have to do now is decide which bikes I want to try out. Gosh life is full of decisions. :-k http://www.menandmotors.co.uk/whatson/prog...20Bike%20Heaven
October 1, 200420 yr Author I have to give them a list of loads of bikes and they'll see which ones they can get. So far I have Firestorm R6 CBR600 GSXR 600/750 Monster V-strom SV 650/1000 ZX6r Z750 The guys from the fazer owners club are daring me to ask for a harley and slate it. I can't actually get the fazer thou off the side stand so it's kind of annoying I can't literally just chose anything at all I want. My mate is filming this week with a GSXR 750, Firestorm and an SP1. I know this is a fantastic oppotunity for me to try loads of bikes, but I'm a bit gutted that I'm so bloody short! I thought just for badness I might ask for a goldwing or a KTM!
October 1, 200420 yr Providing you're not too short, go for these three: Honda Varadero, Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom, Aprilia Caponord.
October 1, 200420 yr Author I'm 5'4" and weigh 8 stone, I've stood next to a varadero comparing for seat height and it's way too heavy and tall for me. I can't even get the fazer thou off the side stand.
October 5, 200420 yr Author Well my list for Thursday and Friday is: R6 ZX6 CBR600 So if you're around Blackburn and the Rockets Centre then just be careful on the roads OK? You have been warned. Quite a nice little selection actually and it'll be nice to try something a bit sportier. How much fun am I going to have?

October 5, 200420 yr Author I think they say it'll be on at some time in the next month, but they put a list here who's going to be on the next few programmes. I'm getting so excited already. I get to ride someone else's bikes and be on TV and talk about bikes. Of course if I was a boy I'd appreciate the presenter who's apparantly a bit of a babe. Don't see the attraction myself like.
October 5, 200420 yr She'd be extremely moist if I was on there! 8) I thought you didn't go out in the rain? :wink:
October 5, 200420 yr You stalking me again NT? Everywhere I go you're there too! Has sadoldgit put you up to this? :shock: The only safe place for me now is www.rainfearingpoofters.com
October 6, 200420 yr sorry! I think he reprogrammed me when he turned me into a stepford wife :shock:
October 6, 200420 yr Author Well she told my mate who was filming last week that she was wearing a black g string (I think the conversation went downhill from there) so apparantly she's not the shy retiring type. I'm getting a bit nervous about tomorrow now. Fingers crossed I don't make a silly mistake and remember to take the bike off the sidestand before I start it.
October 6, 200420 yr Moderator You'll do fine Girl......Just treat it as if the camera isn't even there :wink:
October 6, 200420 yr Author I'll bear that in mind unmutual, but the thing is I'll be in my leathers and wearing so many layers to keep warm that I don't know that I'll be able to. Sorry to disapoint. I think the weathers not going to be too bad for tomorrow either, I would not be looking forward to riding sports bikes in torrential rain. Even my fazer's a bit skitish up hartside in the wet.
October 8, 200420 yr Moderator Even my fazer's a bit skitish up hartside in the wet. doesnt help when some of the surfaces up there are void of cohesion :shock: go on give us all a BIG shout when you do your test :wink: we will be eternally grateful.
