Any drivers got a bike...?

Unfortunately not any longer :frowning:
I sold this last year.

Wishful Thinking

Unfortunately sold the LT last September, I had only done 300 miles in 12 months - just cannot justify that.

On the bright side, I now have something much more dangerous and unpredictable - meet Bertha;

One Horse Power, huh! :stuck_out_tongue:

Was that an ā€˜action shotā€™ just before you lost control and flipped it on the grass?? Certainly looks ā€˜off-trackā€™!! :open_mouth: :laughing:

No, that was the mountain at Cadwell I bet.

ps, stick with the 750. Much more fun at track days as they are like a slightly more powerfull 600 where as the 1000 just wants to hurt you.

ive got a duke 749 for the road. i race a gixer k4 and have a ktm 125sx for playing in the dirt.
how come that bloke looks like he is doing a wheelie on the grass over the mountain?

As the thirteenth owner of a tidy appearance, '73, US spec, T120V, 650 Bonnie it no longer floated my boat for an easy life (Iā€™ll Photobucket if I ever get geeky though).

Am now vaguely pondering a sensible Versys in the waspy, hi-viz yellow & schwarz.

Track level is 2 inches lower than the grass. Most BSB spappers now stand up for mountain shots because of this

was thinking the exact same, The Mountain at Cadwell

somewhere i have a fantastic shot of a (braver then me) rider full chat over the top on a black R1 (i think it was), the bike is almost vertical as he went over the crest and did the jump

But it still looks like itā€™s on the grass!! Look at the back wheel!

Take yer pick

1000cc of pure grin

cking bike the GSXR1000, i had a K5, absolutely awsome machine, the grin factor was unbelieveable :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Like this

or this maybe

the airborne bit is about the same height, but the bike was more vertical, they are more horizontal, which means they bottled it a bit and backed off on the throttle just as they got to the crest.

the pic i have somewhere, i was stood on the oppisite side of the track from the pic in the OP with the mountian in it, the rider kept the throttle pinned :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: very nearly flipped the bike :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Yes it was at Cadwell not my favourite part of the track tbhā€¦ Hall bends & Coppice corner were the fun parts for meā€¦
Liking the Karl Harris picā€™s but the king of the mountain for me is Jonny Rea the mans a bloody loonā€¦
