Post by: Bulli on September 07, 2006, 23:05:32: I know what you mean. Out of my bike buddies there are a few on here!
Rollazuki- bandit 1216...153 without gas 206 with gas at IOM won the suzuki dyno competition.
Glaggs- another bandit with a 1216 big bore,
Discodj- honda hornet with a massively tuned blade motor in it...b4 anyone else did it(he used to work for tts)
Ive got a drz400 with Ohlins front and rear(god they are sexy) and a gsxr 1100m with a 1277 big bore and drag race cams....errr its quicker than a busa to well beyond a ton.
We all worked together at Carnells years ago and have slowly progressed into having 4x4's ..... bizarre must be the petrol in the veins!

Post by: defenderdan on September 07, 2006, 23:11:38: I still call myself a biker although i no longer have a bike. My bank manager made me pick between land rovers and bikes and the bikes were a danger to my license :(. I used to have a kawasaki zx636r and a ktm exc 400.

Post by: Range Rover Blues on September 08, 2006, 02:28:27: Couldn't have a motorbike, I'd kill meself, can't stay on a mountain bike as it is, so I just settle for a 4x4 that goes like [PooPoo] off a stick instead.

And shares in Texaco :roll:

Post by: att on September 08, 2006, 19:08:09: I have always had bikes and 4X4.
Currently have 3 bikes in the stable.
Buell M2 Cyclone.
Aprilia Caponord......Same siza as a 4X4!
Cagiva V Raptor.......Insane peice of machinary.

Bikes are definately more expensive to run than most cars.

I like toys.
