Cheers guys

Damn your lucky MouseMat2004 to not have any pains, especially from a joint break! My knee feels crap in this cold weather and I never even broke it! cant really complain I'm alive and stilll have use of everything

Good to hear you're all mended, so when do you start racing?

Fireskull · 16 Feb 2011 at 10:47

Thats a good question! Now that I can ride again I will sort out getting my ACU asap.
Will start on track days as soon as I have a bike too, it feels like forever that I was last on track

Im thinking maybe a 2005 GSXR 1000 for this year until I can afford the BMW

I dont have to tell you that depending what track you are on the 1 litre bikes are usually embarrassed by the smaller capacity but nimbler machines

Personally speaking I think using a litre bike on a trackday is asking for trouble , and trust me I know

Glad to hear you've been given the all clear dude

Thanks mate

Oh I know Duc999

just I think I fancy a change / challenge, I loved running rings around the bigger bikes on my 750 but I'm still undecided as to weather I want another 750, I just feel it would not be the same...

I'm going to test ride everything anyway so I will probably change my mind by then, I just fancied trying a bit more grunt but still love the delivery of the 4.

That and I'm quietly hoping I've got the balls / skill to muscle a 1000 around

Make mincemeat of that BMW

Nah go for the S1000RR, because then you can give me your opinions on what it's like as I intend to buy one after Afghan this year lol.

Fireskull · 17 Feb 2011 at 15:32

That would be a beast Duc! BSB performance on the road for £15k... Shame the front fairing looks gash!

I dont think I will be able to afford the S1000RR this year

so Im looking at £5k beasts that will hold their value well then get the BMW when second hand prices have dropped to under £10k, so you will most likely give me your opinions

I will be trying for a test ride regardless though!
