So once again in my life I am pugless.  Have been absent from the forum for a while so thought I would post something to get me back in the swing of things
Just sold my track Rallye for a reasonable price, I do miss her slightly but she wasn't getting used and I needed the cash.
![[Image: Track3.jpg]](http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd375/pebbles167/Track3.jpg)
But anyway, until I get a replacement (Possibly a Peugeot) I've been riding around on my GSXR 1000 that I bought shortly before the sale. Not sure If we have any other bikers within the forum, but jesus... this thing is FAST.
Here she is  :

and here is a pic of me and my old man doing a spot of country riding in the summer.

Hope to see you all at a meet soon, I'll be there, whatever I'm driving/riding.

Bikes are rubbish anyway...
Really pissed off a biker last week who went for the most inconciderate overtake possible, then couldn't shake off a diesel Focus on a damp, bendy road...

No offence mate, but i really can't imagine you on a bike! 
I had a Peugeot Speedfight 2 50cc hairdryer when i was 16, then a Suzuki GS125 after that, but then i passed my test, and have stuck to 4 wheels ever since.

J1 ZX6R. In yellow. Damn it was sweet. Completely mint. Iridium double bubble, coded rear guard, full stainless.
70mph in 1st. Dang.

It's not just bikers, if a car driver wants to inconvenience 10 other vehicles just to get to the front and then hold me up through the corners anyway I'd have the same thought towards them...
I do know a couple of bikers, but unfortunately 90% seem to be completely inconsiderate and often dangerous. Then the car gets the blame when a speeding biker hits it... Or you get the 2 stroke ped's which are completely opposite, struggling to hold 25mph while blowing more smoke than an XUD. When you finally get a clear road to overtake and they swerve... 
I need a window sticker that says 'think car' tbh...

Driving into London every day and f*ck me have I seen bikers do some dodgy shit.
I've yet once to see a car aggravate a biker yet they seem to think the whole world is against them
70 mph undertake in the hard shoulder down the north circular for starters

I did my CBT, got an XL125, loved it, sold it to fund buying a new guitar and never went back. Keep meaning to but never get round to it!

Renewed my CBT (First time since I was 16) again this year as I wanted to do a little riding on a 125 before I finally did my direct access (Passed my theory test last year). But then the boiler went and all the bike money disappeared into a blackhole...

Guy across the road from us has one with the quick shift...he ended up taking it back as he thought there was a problem with it cutting out. Sounds quick when he takes it out mind !
I did Direct Access at 21, got a Yamaha Diversion 600, and more recently had a Suzuki V-Strom. Would love something else now...

Ha! If we lived closer we could've made fools of ourselves in leather together! I Wanna pick up a cbr125, but that's mean £800-1k less for me to spend on the Rallye... Then do my direct access and grab a cbr500 for a couple of years but eventually want the cbr1100 blackbird-XX

It's more of a shift helper than a proper quickshifter imo and the bit that messes with it is the gear indicator sender. They are fairly rapid tho! Done a bit to the engine on this as well keep getting tempted by bigger things (namely s1s1000rr) but think if I get this mapped properly it will change my mind a bit lol.
Set of bst carbon wheels would most definitely make me keep it...

Looks very retro, but I guess it goes well with the triumph engine.
Would love a Speed Triple or a nice Ducati of some description - I love the sound of the twins and triples.

It's on a q plate, but planning for it started in the 90's... the build was featured in a few fast bikes mags back then yeah - they sound beautiful on song
