Yesterday, I was mostly grinning like a loon

Because Keith let me have a ride on his (155 rw/bhp)Bandit.

Quick? Oh no. My bike is quick. That bike is fooking fast!

Open the throttle anywhere over 4k, then blink and you've missed 40mph. Do the same above 7k and you've missed the road. Pull like a train, you say? No. It pulls like a 747 on full chat!

6k in first? A sniff of throttle? Front wheel in the air? Oh yes.

And the noise. Wow. Its so damn loud without the baffle in, and it pops and farts on the overrun like a proper race bike. Very, very nice.

I havn't had so much fun on a bike since Cadwell.

Dear Santa....

Probably a similar sensation to G's ZX9R, that's the most wheelie happy bike I've ever had the pleasure of riding, one of the most fun too, couldnt twist the throttle without it wanting to bring the front up, I could live with a bike like that.

Was it a Bandit or a Bimota? Confused

Both.

First a tuned Bandit 12 then a Bimota YB10.

I think he was probably more crazy to let me loose on the Bimota.

You are obviously a lucky bar steward to have such a nice mate!

Wow Keith's brave! Razz

I'll never forget the time after the pet food run when Goose let you loose on his R6 and spent half an hour with a very nervous look on his face!

Glad you had a good time, think Keith will let me have a go? Razz

I was NOT on Goose's bike for half an hour! It was 10 minutes - 15 at the most. Jeez, I only did about 6 miles! Razz

Thats very true Dusty, I wasn't. But to be fair it was my first time on anything faster than a 250 Hornet. Razz

Hey Colin is this Keith from work?? Nah can't be.... can it?

McJamweasel · BCF Junkie Joined: 22 Mar 2002 Karma :

No, its not. I very much doubt his Beemer would be anywhere near as much fun.

Its Kickstart on here that I'm referring to.
