Been having nightmares about being hunted by POO ever since
Just to clear up, I'm definately not a noob. I've been riding for some time now on all sorts of bikes.
When I mentioned about 'learning to ride' I was talking specifically about my GSXR1000 as I've only had her for a few months and I'm just working her out.
I certainly wouldn't recommend an inexperienced rider jump on a GSXR600 let alone 1000.
I'm experienced enough to get round any course at an adiquate pace.
However, I don't yet have the experience or confidence on this bike yet to be pushing it the way I have been. the bike is so tuned and handles so well it gives you that confidence but it's easy to get c0cky with it.
If I didn't panic when the POO attacked me I would have probably gone round the corner fine with no incident. I was only doing 20 and I wasn't leaning that much.
I just had a moment. ____________________ Went like this.. 43 years old(2013) decided to do CBT to get a 125 for new job. Bought 2011 YBR, loved it for three months then hated it because it was too god damn slow. Did DAS 4 months later then bought RF600 Loved it, sold it bought Bandit 1200(K3). EFFIN lOVED IT. Wanted something a bit more sporty so got Triumph Sprint ST 955i (53). Not sporty enough so now on my GSXR 1000 K3 and absolutely love it. 1 year down the line, nearly died way too many times on this bike. Sold it. Had a 6 month break. Missed biking so now, Aug 2019 have a 1999 ZX9r. What a beauty she is too. |

Rides a litre superbike like a 'lunatic', allegedly, but target fixates and fails to adapt a line while bimbling round a bend at 20mph .
Get over yourself. And you didn't nearly die.
If you want to better yourself then there's plenty of good reading material out there, track based tuition, videos to watch etc. I may be mistaken, but from your original post you make out that you're quite new to this lark (you mention lack of experience/ learning to ride your bike etc). If that's the case, why are you riding a GSXR1000? Maybe consider getting something friendlier, with wide bars that'll be a kinder mistress and friendlier teacher than a snarling superbike with clip-ons. ____________________ CG125, CBF250, DRZ400-SM, Z750, Street Triple R, Tuono V4R |
