 Posted: 17:10 - 11 Jul 2008 Post subject: i was impressed today... |
 |
|
well, i was suffering from the broken limb blues today, so thought fuck it, im going for a ride...
now, my choices were... the SRAD with a sump full of fuel, no brake lever or pedal, a lifan with a snapped frame, or a freshly taxed and MOT'd RXS100... oh yeah, and a reliant rialto.
i chose the 100
god forbid if i stalled... kickstart with a cast on my right foot? yeah right.
ended up looking like a div for 10 mins on the drive sat on my arse using the kickstart with my hand.
now i started the ride in a bit of a downer, like ''awerrr this things shite and slow''.
so i tested it on the torpoint twisties, with my crutches strapped to my backpack in case.
fucking loved it
started at the tattoo parlour thing, as the missus just got a thing on her back. not too sure what it is, but i dont care too much.
was there for 3 fucking hours...
now, the whole time i was warming the bike up, 2 cars passed as i got on, but nothing after that. thats 2-3 minutes of warming up,
and as i pulled out there were about 3 cars stuck behind me
then...
hammer down, all the way along, with an average speed of around 55mph.... and seeing 75 on the clocks at one point
was so much fun! none of this slowing down for corners bollocks like on the GSXR, so you can concentrate on the better things.
i even caught up with some traffic!
felt like i was going so slowly, wasnt until i looked behind me and saw no cars that i realised i must have lost a few people
spent the whole trip feeling as if there were like 10 cars behind.
so yeah... epic kodak moment. not bad for 0RPM. even had to slow down for the cars in front!
https://img81.imageshack.us/img81/4166/11072008176gh3.jpg
followed by a WTF?? as i looked behind and saw no cars! combined with amazement at catching up with cars on a 100cc 2 stroke that runs a bit doggedly.
https://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6374/11072008178hw5.jpg
all this acheived with a 15 stone broken limbed knobber on the back. imagine what it can do with a skinny runt kid!
thats the next experiment. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles. In summery, mattsprattuk is a gobby little sh1tebag, dopehead tw4t, but sadly for all of us, he probably isn't THAT full of sh1te!!

You chose the right bike to go on a ride with Miles better than the SRAD.
75mph on the clocks, lucky bastard. Mine still only nudges 60mph in 4th gear and still won't rev past 8,000
Need to start experimenting with the jetting.
It's hard starting it with your hand, I've tried and failed
P.S. I'm a skinny runt kid  |

I think you're completely mad, another off, any off and the surgeon will be taking your foot off. I mean you no Ill but I just can't condone you riding in a cast with your middle toe held together with a paper clip. It's so easy to make a silly mistake or become the victim of someone else's stupidity.  ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |

good on you Matt, nice to know I am not the only idiot that rides with broken bones and crutches tied on the bike.
When I did my knee in I had to rig a hand change.  ____________________ Bikers make great organ donors, get 115 on your licence today. |

beleive me, this is probably the most careful i have ever ridden today! i mean, it was like my test all over again at first!
i rode pretty agressively as its a small bike, leaving no room for anyone to attempt an overtake in an unsafe place etc.
i knew the risks and took them.
fuck me it was worth it. try not riding your bike for 3 weeks.
however, once the twisties started, i was back to my usual self  ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

Nice one, great to hear your back up on the saddle (even though it is a small bike) are twisties all cleared up with that gravel shit yet?
Im a small runty kid (like 8 stone) i could be your experiment since i live in plymouth too.
Give me a pm if you want to meet up for a slow ride or fast or what ever (as im only on a 125) or if you need me for your experiments
Glad to hear your ok though mate! |

100cc 2-strokes rule.
I was out on my H100 on Friday. Sat at a steady 60mph most of the way. I was only overtaken twice in 50 miles on A-roads. I overtook four cars.  ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

the gravel is still there unfortunatly
i had the front end slide a bit on the first bit of gravel, shat me up a bit.
however, if you stick to the lines a car wheel would take, the road seems ok there. but its like riding on a 2 foot wide road
and if you want to be swapping an RS125 for an RXS100, im all ears  ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

Oh that sucks i wish they would get a road sweeper down there and clear all the crap off the roads.
And i thaught you meant taking someone on the back and do something stupid type of experiment lol not swapping bikes
You should give me a pm some time, i need someone to go out on a ride with it gets really boring after a while on my own because i dont know any good roads to go down or any decent routes with half decent roads.
Hope to see you out and about some time though  |

and not on the high horse, but how fooked would you be if you came off on your cast and fucked your already fooked leg, would turn all sludgy wouldnt it no bones and hit again lool.
and sounds like youve got a lover there. Aint the SRAD a right off, or is it a big fairing overhaul. |
to me, fairings are just glorified crash bungs. i dont care how they look. as long as it rides right, im happy with it (and it will once i have brakes).
as said above, i knew the risks and took them. so shh with the lecture crap.
i can probably put money on you not wearing boots when you ride. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.
