I bet tunnie can't do that on his BMW

(Though I still can't quite work out if that's fake or not.. or if it's real, how he didn't go flying off the road!)

Presume that's Josh Brookes over the mountain at Cadwell. Love it! 

[aaronjb]

I do believe if that were me, that would count as a 'trouser filling' moment..

Then again, going even remotely fast on a bike would probably be trouser filling in the best of conditions for me

Its real alright, there is a pic of Chrisgixer somewhere on here, at the same spot doing a similar thing.
But when it goes wrong........
NOT FOR THE SQEAMISH !

Ohhhhh that is going to hurt in the morning! 


You see.. you wouldn't catch a cage driver ending up like that over a little jump. I think I'll stick to four wheels  (also I'd look silly on a bike .. just imagine Giant Haystacks riding a moped and you're on the right lines  )

They all do it every lap Aarron. Bike racing - proper racing.

Corks!

Must admit I've never really watched the BSB races (presumably it's not on terrestrial or FTA channels?), only the occasional MotoGP (and I've missed those this year so far, too!).

I do love bikes & bike racing, just don't think I'd ever have the stones to ride one

Oh don't be silly, that is his argument for it it being Ok to cross double solid white lines......

Ah, lovely! The only way to take the mountain apparently. Cmon chrisgixer! Get your pic up again, it's a belter!

[albitz]

There ya go Daisy - Stoner lover Gixer in all his glory. (bottom of the page.)

Those inter-changeable panels on my GS make it look like a sports bike     

Full credit to those guys going that speed, some serious skill! But for me, the Isle of Man TT shows a greater skill as they are on lumpy bumpy average roads!

[aaronjb]

I don't know if the IOM TT shows more skill, or just a complete lack of sanity 

I think I can see myself on something like this rather than a big sport bike:


There'd definitely be no jumping over hills (or going round corners fast)

No right leg left either! 

Is it me or does that exhaust exit into you leg? 

[aaronjb]

It exits (at a guess) underneath your thigh - looking at where the foot pegs/shifter are you're going to be sitting on it like you're sitting on a chair with your thighs almost parallel to the road and your shins almost vertical..

Good point, but get a rather hot reminder when you want to let your feet dangle for a rest. That said, can't see big distances being achieved on that
