Remember in the 80s when the Kwak GPZs were all the rage, there was a suicide sale at one of the dealers and there were 100s of bikers queuing outside waiting for the shop to open, all the bikes parked right up the street, this GPZ 1100 comes round the roundabout with a wee guy on the front and a big guy on the back, it pulls a wheelie right along the whole street,everyone is clapping and cheering, it drops back on to the front wheel and parks up at the end of the line of bikes, they both get of the bike and they both remove there helmets and the wee guy is a stunning blonde girl, that moment has stayed with me forever, can still see the looks on everyone's faces to this day, awesome
Went on tour to the Pyrenees a couple of years ago with some lads on here. By far the best experience on a road bike. Track wise have to say Cadwell park last year next to Brands GP.
Well bizarrely enough it's the only time I thought ....I'm gonna die lol 1970's & my boyfriend who had a cb750 couldn't make it to Monsal Head pub to the heavy rock band gig...so he says...get a lift back with his mate who has the Norton 850. Now...I was pretty fearless, especially with 8 pints of mild inside a me in them days......but jeez I lost the right heel off me biker chick boot before we'd even hit 13 bends near Bakewell I remember holding on tight & thinking omg I'm gonna die...but at the same time it was the most exhilarating thing ever ...and I'm still laughing about it now
Best thing I've done on a bike was my first track day at Silverstone last July. I'm back this Wednesday to get that feeling back
Been lucky with the amount of bike time I've got over last 8 years... Too many to mention but few highlights for me : First tour into France and route Napoleon.... Never felt so free on a bike and the roads in Europe when you haven't been are just mega Getting my knee down first ever time on paddock hill on my first track day - it scared the shit out me tbh lol First trip to the ring and just being in awe of the place First ever race meet and sense of achievement for finally having a go. Winning our first trophy with the lads in endurance was just such a great feeling....
standing outside the sulby glen hotel,leaning on a railing 6 inches from the road. When the first bike at the TT went passed. For those who have been you know what I mean ?!?! For those that haven't been yet .........just go,, it's breath taking. 2nd thing same day, going passed a cop car @ 170mph and they didn't bat an eye........
Your right Jimbo Scotland tour was awesome even if it did piss down virtually everyday !!!!! Just as well we never seen any cops when we where doing 1@@mph Have to add another or Maz will kick me in the nads !!! Watching a slim blonde in tight leathers get off a 12 plate Blade n thinking now there's a girl I could break my rule of never getting married again !! 2 weeks today whilst we are at the TT will be our 1st anniversary and hopefully many more to come, cyber round of drinks are on me, cheers
Must admit not biased or anything but Scottish roads are awesome the A82 from Glasgow to Inverness has got to be done,riding through Glencoe is awe inspiring,then if you take a detour on the way up the isle of Skye road has to be done, once did it at 6 at night in glorious sunshine don't think I was under 120 there and back brilliant road with castles and everything
Scottish roads may be awesome, but they tend to have Scottish weather and Scottish cops Been going to the alps every year since 1999, the riding is like nothing else
Never had an issue with Scottish cops mate. If anything I've found them to be fair if you ever come across them during a ride. Normally just get a wave
My point was that scottish cops can take your licence and/or incarcerate you, which would be 'fair' bt not the experience i am seeking
Best thing I ever 'did on a bike' was a 17yr old Girl I met at a Party when I was at College! Nearly knocked my DT175MX over we did!
2 things stand out. Riding to the med on the blade was my first euro tour And my second trackday at Anglesey which was a 2 day trackday and Epic in every word. Apart from almost high sideing the blade when it was 6 months old but somehow I managed to save it just
Last year me and a mate drove to Imola did 2 days on track the next day on track at Mugello. We had a day cancelled so drove to Monza where for 10 euros we cycled round the circuit new and old with a lad who told us a few things about the whole park. Amazing. Then we drove back towards Belgium and stopped in a shithole in France called 'Mulhouse'. This had the most amazing car museum with all kinds of Buggatti GordinI Renault Citroën etc. The next morning a slow drive to Spa-Francorchamps for 2 days on track there. And to cap it all I done my fastest time yet on the second day at Spa. Absolutely incredible time. If you have ever rode around Spa (I have, quite a bit) you will know how special and quick it is. Well Imola blows it away, phenomenal circuit. Going back for a 2 dayers in about 6 weeks
