The new bike is approaching completion. the fairing fits, the suspension has been sent off for work and i've just spent 2500 on racing bits from Harris.

I took it for a test ride at Rockingham this weekend. Oh my god, if my lads don't kick some ass in the next race in Ireland i'll be pissed. the bike is just so quick and light...

How much do you think all that'll cost me? And,...wanna go? I'll need a devilishly handsome tourguide with crack smart wit and the ability to keep up with me! biggrin kiss
I'm serious, this could be fun...
devilsplum:
I wish I hadn't missed ya, it would have been fun to talk. I came into my room for just a bit, typed you a message and then and went to drink some extremely cheap sangria...yuck!! I wasn't impressed.
As for the cockney phrase, that's purely ME. My family's background falls on English grounds, so I guess I was reaching deep into my heritage. haha..
Unfortuately now I don't HAVE anyone to reach into my heritage for me... frown
If you wanna ever message me or chat, I'm on MSN messenger. If you don't have it, get a free hotmail.com account and go from there. It's easy and I'm always signed on when I'm on this blasted thing.
I'm switching hotels today and going to some museums here in Houston to see what the city has to offer, but will probably be on my time this evening around 9ish. I think that is about 3 am for you frown
I hate to ask you to stay up late, so if you feel compelled to chat, I'll more than likely be here on MSN, or even SG. Just send me an email.
Talk to you later.
Cheers. wink

Not again mad

we were 3rd after two hours, and then one of my riders just threw it away. he's got two broken ribs......serves him right, he was so off line going into a corner called cascades that he locked the front end up.

I really felt that this race would go well for us.

oh well, you can't make an omlette without breaking eggs. smile

I'll...

I was thinking drag, but would love to race on a track and not just in a straight line. It's all new to me, the extent of my racing is revving up at a light and challenging someone to go. How do I get a racing license? Is there an application or does someone have to sponser me or what? I'm so completely clueless at the moment but this is something I've really dreamed of for a long time, just never had the chance to do it. I figure why not now?? I've never rode enduro or offroad at all. I'm contimplating buying a new bike when I come back from Iraq this time since I will have the cash to, but don't really know what I want. I have a bike to ride around town and go on road trips, but not for just racing. I have a Harley but before I bought it was considering getting a Kaw zx6r. I figured the Harley would make a good investment and would sell it later to a German(lived in GE) and make some dough. Didn't do it though and now that's what I ride. I've been looking at all sorts of bikes lately, but since I'm not sure what's out there, i don't know what would be best suited for me. I would like this bike to either be a good offroad bike or a fast street bike for hitting the curves better than with what I have. I'm not really sure though. I guess suggestions are in order since you are in the business. Have any? I love all kinds of bikes, don't care about appearances and want maximum performance, speed, and versitility. Who doesn't want that right?
I am 5'5" and weigh 130 right now. I hear the smaller you are in the racing scene, the better. Is that true? I have friends that race late model cars here locally and on the circuit, but don't know anyone who races bikes. Plus, even though I smoke everyone I've raced, I wouldn't even know where to begin to get serious. Does this even make any sense? It's about 2 am now...
Grrrrr...I don't even know what kinda questions to ask you. Basically I'm a super beginner. Point me in the right direction, oh master..... biggrin

Man that sucks. On the plus side this luck can;t last forever.

not written much lately. i've just been too down to write.

Seems like my mum has some form of cancer of the blood and the future's not good.

so there you are, that's why I've contributed sod all to the site for over a month.

I'll be ok, it just takes time to adjust.
