Re: Vic riders beware..they will get you

Car like that should be good for 300kph easy.

Maybe he was slowing down cos it had developed a mechanical fault already.

Re: BMW have entered WSBK (sorry if this is a repost)

BMW will be a late arrival in the WSB season so don't expect too many podiums, i just hope Corser hasn't backed a dud (Petronas).

Until i replaced my pilot powers with Pirelli Super Corsa's

I did opt for the taller 55 profile rear, but the SC front is superb all the same!

Re: keys for ZX636 2005 Model

Red keys get "lost" when the bike gets listed as an insurance write off, it only goes to the auction with the key it went to the insurance assessor with, i.e the black key.

No red key on a bike with an ...

I want fast acceleration, i want it to weigh the same as a petrol bike, yes i can sacrifice 150kph ...

Re: How would you respond to this?

I stopped riding for about 4 years cos I'd changed countries and thought it would be prudent not to risk it in a strange land with no family support etc while i was setting myself up here in QLD, and i was okay with that.
