Yeah, all fast cars are fast...






....until you ride a bike. There's nothing more satisfying than walking a ricer who thinks he's all that. :lol:

Lol... In comparison to the bike, my car is alot quicker...

In comparison to the bigger bikes out there, my car is a snail...

Actually, for interests sake, what would a ninja do down the qtr???14s?

Honestly, I thought that too. Once you get into some twisty's or track days there is nothing like a bike! I have driven some quick cars and anyone can nail it down a straight line! Even around a racetrack quickly. I have never felt more alive than the last few trackdays on the bike ;)

Forget qtr's try some trackdays :D

Got a set of Pirelli SuperCorsa's sitting in the garage... Will get them swapped on the track day when there are people around me to ensure I dont break anything whilst removing the calipers ;) You?
