Divvy_Rider Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 It's my Birthday today, (25th) .. So i took mon/tues off work, so thought i'd make the most of it and have a Bday ride, it was only a 45mile trip but it was still good, and it's the first time i have riden at speed for ages, it scared the shit outta me on the first few long roads but i got back in to the swing of it soon enough, mind you trying to hold a decent riding line was a joke, I was all over the place .. I must get out for more joy rides, and if the weather stays like this that won't be a problem. have fun peeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Alex Posted February 2, 2005 Admin Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well before i came away being a freelance designer, i ended up spending more days off then i should have. I would ride my bike at least 2 hours a day everyday of the week. And go out all weekend. As much as i love my bike if i hadnt have spend so long riding the dam thing i wouldnt be in as much debt as i am now But my poor bike hasnt been out the garage for about 7 months now, the nearest i get to my bike is reminding my dad to turn the front wheel, as i forgot to get a front stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 2, 2005 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2005 the nearest i get to my bike is reminding my dad to turn the front wheel, as i forgot to get a front stand That sounds just like the scenario I have with my RD.......after a few more "Honey-Do" weekends ......I'll be getting after it to put it back on the road.

Moto19 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 After a bad crash in the summer of 2003 I was unable to race till now. We start in a few months and I'm getting a "chubby" just thinking about it. My RD350 LC is in need of a rebuild but that should be sorted in a month or so. I'll also be racing a YSR50 this year. Picked it up for $900.00 (Cnd) with all the papers, etc. I plan to throw plates on it as well and blast around town. Should be a lot of fun. Still kept my hand in throughout the recovery though by blasting around town on my wifes BWS 50. Man that thing is way too much fun to ride. "Full out" all the time and the Cops don't even look at you twice. Add that it's cheap on gas and insurance and I start to wonder why more people don't have them. And after the race pipe went on it now sound way to cool for words. Got to love those Yamaha bikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I've got to admit I don't ride mine all year round - getting too old for that - but it's ridden hard and fast when I do take it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean fun like freezing your b*ll*cks off and getting piss wet through - I've been there and got the f**king T shirt. I've had my fill of falling off in the wet and, after 28 years, getting cold and wet no longer appeals. Don't get me wrong if it rains while I'm out well tough shit I've got to ride BUT I can't see the point of taking 15 minutes to get me bike out and get all me gear on to go 10 minutes to work!

fredjee Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 As i live in England and the weather is mostly s**t and I think my '' Old Nail '' is worth more £££$$$$ than I have at the moment if I was to drop it and as I have 2 kids and as the wife has job after job after job on the DIY front lined up for me ................. I only ride it when I have time and must admit try to get out when the sun shines I do get caught in the rain sometimes .... also seem to keep of the roads when the gritters start dumping '' Salt '' everwere ...... I must be one of those '' Fair Weather '' bikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickt26 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 This is the first year I've been able to ride all year round, and it won't be the last. I can't drive so me bike is me only transport. I've got a '01 DT125R for commuting/mule/wobbling around off-road and a '97 SZR660 that's in bits being, ahem, cleaned*. So, five (sometimes 6) days a week to work and back, and the odd weekend blast when I'm not busy in the garage.
