Too fast would be bad too - you don't want to miss the landing ramp and land on the flat. Need to use appropriate speed to land on the downslope. I've never seen that section when I've been to Gisburn, but I've worked out where it is now, so will have a look next time. It may just be a look though, I'm not as young and reckless as I used to be, lol. I'll get smeone to video it on my phone if I decide to give it a go, just in case anything interesting happens, lol... Maybe take my GoPro too, if i can remember how to use it, lol.0 -
Bet his back wheel thanked him for casing that.
Kowalski, it's a miracle you can ever talk, with all the 'loling' you seem to do.0 -
I love being reckless. The amount of times ive crashed on my bike being a knob... The only thing i dont like about jumps/drops is that my Chucker is quite back heavy, so im scared of a dodgey landing but ive landed all the ones ive tried so far, they are only like 3 foot tall anyway (but fast).
Im so annoyed that there is nothing like that to ride around here...grrr. My bike is near enough overkill for what ive got here!0 -

Yeah, I can identify with that, lol...
When i was a BMX riding kid (the first time BMX was popular, mid to late '80s) we had a great ramp on the site of a supermarket they were building locally. Take off ramp was a big sheet of ply, leant against a stack of wooden pallets about six feet high, similar landing ramp and a gap of about ten feet between the two. You really didn't want to case that one, lol.0 -

Fuck that!...id do it if there were any girls about, and someone was recording. The one and only thing i am scared about when messing around on my bike...is my bike. I just dont want to muck up my bike. I couldnt give a monkeys if i fell off.0 -

Yeah, turned on a sixpence, but not very good at going forwards, I had to literally drag it out of teh garage to take the pics, lol. The wheel's at 90 degrees, but the bars are pointing straight ahead. The snapped left fork leg didn't help either, lol (and sprayed fork oil all over the shop). It was the result of flipping a wheelie and cartwheeling it down the road and over a hedge into a field, lol. It was bad, there wasn't that much left salvageable, lol. rebuilt on the same frame though, had it straightened in a jig (it had another session in the same jig after another crash later on, lol). It was bent again after that second straightening, but just the subframe. If I rebuild her again I'll build onto one of my spare straight frames and cut the original up.fark that!...id do it if there were any girls about, and someone was recording.

There was no such thing as camera phones then. The only mobile phones were the size of a jerry can, lol. I was only bothered about my bike and riding gear (Arais are expensive) in my crashes, even when I'd bust my collarbone.0 -

Aye, those gold discs have been bugging me for 15 years now, lol. They'll be going if it gets rebuilt yet again onto one of my spare straight frames.0 -

Why did i say Yamaha :shock: I meant Aprillia. I was thinking "R125" so i said Yamaha.
My brother had one, they sound awesome (2 stroke)! It would have your StripleR and your Bandit for breakfast 0 -

I suspected you meant the Aprilia, lol. Ok for little boys (if derestricted they'll just about pull the skin off a rice pudding, lol). If you want a proper bad boy hooligan 2 stroke then look no further than my TDR 250 - the discerning lunatic's choice, lol. One of these days I'll finish rebuilding it, it's only been 17 years since I rode it, lol... 0 -
We use pedals here boys, try here instead http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/0

Sorry, i just wanted to wind him up a bit (BTW i reckon you should just sell the lot and buy an R1!)
Ill beat Kowalski on a pedal bike any day...even when im riding my Raleigh commuter.0 -

Didn't work, lol. I'm far too old to waste time getting wound up by numpties on the internetz, lol.(BTW i reckon you should just sell the lot and buy an R1!)
Even if you're stupid enough to want a litre sportsbike for the road the current R1 would be the last choice, all the opposition are better bikes. There's only one real R1 anyway - the original nasty, badass '98/'99 4XV model (with flat bar conversion naturally - clipons are for homosexuals).Ill beat Kowalski on a pedal bike any day
I'm sure you would, but that's not much of an accolade, lol. Most people would, I'm old and unfit, and have zero skillz. I'd scare you stupid on a motorbike though, lol. 0 -

I dont get wound up on the internet either, as you might have known from my old thread on the CC. Its all just banter!Even if you're stupid enough to want a litre sportsbike for the road the current R1 would be the last choice, all the opposition are better bikes. There's only one real R1 anyway - the original nasty, badass '98/'99 4XV model (with flat bar conversion naturally - clipons are for homosexuals).
I have no clue what im talking about. I mentioned an R1 because its the fastest bike i know of. I mentioned it in the same way a retard with no taste or sense in cars would say that that the Bugatti Veyron is their favourite car.

I probably wont, and the whole concept of riding a motorbike scares me.0 -
The day that you can't still occasionally scare yourself anymore is the day that it's time to hang up your leathers. Or buy a faster bike. One or the other, lol...
Modern litre sportsbikes just leave me cold, with their lacklustre styling, overcomplication and plethora of bulls**t electronics - ABS, traction control, ride by wire throttles, selectable power modes, anti wheelie etc etc - all shite. They're utterly useless as road bikes. They're so sanitised that if you ride them at anything like legal-ish speeds you'll be bored s**tless, and if you ride them fast enough to have fun then you're going to end up in a morgue, or a prison cell, neither of which really appeals. A '98 R1 may only make 130bhp at the rear wheel, but it's a far more visceral experience than a current one - a nasty, angry bike (with carbs and no electronic shite) that just wants to hurt you. You know that if you take liberties it's gonna bite you, hard. It's no coincidence that the market for big sportsbikes is dead as a doornail.0 -
