Yayy!!! New rms bike section!!! Good opertunity to showcase my recent 2 wheeled addiction. lol
This is how much ive got into my bikes in little over 1 year.

Started out with this for racing in April 2011:

'03 YZF 450 Supermoto Spec

Then bought this for the road and got my test in August 2011:

'98 GS500E

Bought this sporty little number for a 6 hour charity endurance race:

Yamaha T80 Townmate

Got bored real quick of the GS500 and bought this in sept 2011:

'2000 YZF R6

Done a trackday and knew immediately I need circuit racing in my life so done my licence this year and bought this April:
'96 CBR600 Race Bike

Racing has now taken over my world!!! I have no social life!! Beware the downward spiral into addiction and poverty!!! lol

Where was the Endurance Race? Who organised it? Would love to do something like that for the craic. After all, I used to live down south, and it was a 2 hour journey each way on an Aprillia RS125 that would have bored anyone to tears, so 6 hours of flying round a track on a Cub or Townmate would be awesome in comparison..

Are you still at the supermoto's, or have you given that up to race circuit?

[Jason]

All that in one year with no previous bike experience?! Fair play!

Was a guy down south organised it. Theres one every year at mondello and if you search "Nifty Fifty Seventy Ninety Racing" on facebook you will find the page.
Yeah still at the supermoto, its cheap racing and good training for the circuits.

Pretty much, I had a scrambler for a few months when I was 17, and had the odd ride on mates bikes etc but apart from that not much.
It really shows when I race supermoto against lads who were at motocross when they were young, I dont have a chance.
But the circuits Ive started off fairly well at, mainly because its all grip and less sliding about etc. Been finishing average of 11th from 30 riders, and just done my 3rd race so im hopefull to do better.
Still cant wheelie either which is one thing thats destroying me. Will have to find an abandoned airfield sometime and practice. lol

 

[Graham]

[RMS_CLK]

you still got the pulsar ?

No mate, long gone. Just these bikes and big dirty 406 estate to cart them and my gear about.

 

[Graham]

[Kerzo]

Fantastic! What is the GS like?

 

[Lyons]

LOL, that's a great tale! Is the racing expensive or not too bad?

 

[endofreak]

Its not gonna win any awards like, but it does 50 - 60mpg, fairly slow but still faster than most cars on the road and they are cheap as chips. You can buy them for £500. Good fun depending on how you ride it.

LOL, that's a great tale! Is the racing expensive or not too bad?

Its as expensive as you want to make it. Im using second hand tyres so not just so bad, but still stretching my budget. To be running at the front you need to spend £££.

lol, not anymore!!!
