that was good fun. nice to see everyone again. nice ride that today chaps. look forward to the next. hope you made it back in time Darren
I'm just shy of 6ft and fit on my RVF fine, has a 2" lift via different dog leg suspension coupling like.
It's my knackered knees and back couldn't cope, I struggled after just over an hour on a blade so no chance on these, possibly the best looking bikes I've ever seen though.
Cheers Phill who's is the RVF in the photo? CRM's? It's mighty fine. And I understand why now, I came off mine and due to the squat position it's been a bit of a struggle the past month with limited knee movement and I did given dad a go who walked like Quasimodo afterwards haha-poor sod. There is a way of riding 'rumple style' left handed throttle and belly on'th tank to give your back a rest lol
No mate it belongs to the fella standing next to it, he's a mate of CRM's, I think CRM has got one as well but could be wrong, I lose track of all his bikes.
Ah right, I'll have to get chatting when I'm back in the UK, only seen 1 other 400 tonight, that NC30 in the photo I think was at the Scotch. Good little bikes that can out corner most bigger bikes (if you have bigger balls than me as my tyres aren't even scrubbed in yet haha)
yesterday i was about to post up saying i cant do thursday cos im going watching zz top. then i realised the 25th is tuesday... doors open 7pm. shit its 6.10!!! threw a pair of jeans on quick and fkt off to mcr, just in time for a pint before the doors opened lol! beltin night - nearly missed it lol!
@ Carl - yes i rolled off and just had a shiver go down my spine and half expected to see you going off road. really genuinely scared me that did. The RT RVF (the yellow RVF logo) is giff's, mine is the one in the background the RR (with white RVF logos) Solo Tyga seat unit (based on the standard shape) and also has white wheels. However i do have a RT and another RR and a carbon RR too. confused ? yeah me too leave that can of worms closed. Yes they handle quite well, very confidence inspiring to ride, but the standard suspension is really quite poor and budget even for Honda. Both mine and Giffs had been overhauled in the suspension department. Mine is wearing a maxton rear shock, and the forks are kitted with hyperpro springs and adjustable tapers. standard RVF's have 10 clicks, 1 does something, 9 dont lol.
Bloody Denbigh moors have been stone chipped so it took me 20 mins to Denbigh. Made it back bang on 5 though, great to catch up with everyone
they done a section by delemere a few weeks back it was terrible i done the same route a few days later and all the stones where gone ,they must of swept it ?, even the middle of the lane between car tyre tracks was cleared
