The bikers thread; trips, news, chat, all things motorcycle
Re: The bikers thread; trips, news, chat, all things motorcy
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Re: The bikers thread; trips, news, chat, all things motorcy
Decades ago I read a book about guys who had the talent to compete at the highest levels in their sport. It had their stories of what happened during a competition when they realized the best were an unreachable step better than them.
The vid is from a practice, so the rider being passed wasn't going all out. But imagine you're racing doing 290km at the point where you get on the brakes - and somebody passes you like this:

Anyone fancy a bike trip with a bit of mystery, adventure and excitement might want to join a Friday run here in Kabul. Most bikes are pretty old, Indian or Pakistan jobs but the bikers are just the same as anywhere.

Any bikers coming over from the UK and wouldn't mind carrying a helmet for me would be rewarded with beer on arrival!

Looking good Steve! How was the ride?
Folks,
I need to order some spares for my Honda CRF-250R. I emailed Honda BigWing and got an email rejection...
Anyone got a reliable email address?
Cheers,
GN.

Mate, Club Motos' helmet prices are pretty reasonable I have found. I recommend the Arai ones with the slide-down sun-visor.buksida wrote:Any bikers coming over from the UK and wouldn't mind carrying a helmet for me would be rewarded with beer on arrival!

Re: The bikers thread; trips, news, chat, all things motorcy
World Super Bikes comes to Thailand. Now it has beenconfirmed that Thailand will host a round on the WSB in March next year.
The newly opened circuit in Burirum, The Chang Circuit, will be the venue.
Have searched for flights from BKK and it seems Don Mang has a regular flight, and will increase the schedule now the circuit is open. Return fare about 2000 bht.
If anybody knows anymore, please post. I am thinking of organising a trip for a few like minded bikers.
Go friday, qualifying saturday, then back after the race? Seems local accomodation is cheap too.
Look forward to any responses.
