| Trackday Well I would like to tell you all about my trackday on my bike but I feel I better not as I had an issue with wheelies and I was riding very fast and Im sure the thread will be blocked by the pointless people who do that here.
Least to say its as fast as a race R1 or ZX10 if you can get it round corners. |

| Re: Trackday If your trackday was filled with wheelies, then you need to work on your riding skills. |

| Re: Trackday Got an RGV 250 thanks - different kinda power and different kinda bike.
Why do you feel the urge to slate my riding style if the bike wheelies under power - you know nothing of where I was riding or what the conditions of the track were.
Maybe you should get off your high horse and accept you run a web forum - doesnt give you the right to put anyone down - lets face it you have a Blackbird.... Hardy a fast machine and I would know as I have one too....... |

The OKI RVF750R3 had more "unobtainium" than any bike I have ever seen and it weighed in at 310 pounds wet (on a bike that was sub-375 to start out with). It cost HRC some 290K each for 3 bikes. If this gentleman truly has a 334 pound/180 HP Blade, then maybe Ten Kate or Commonwealth should get his number . . .

Yep, BDA is way off base. Anyone that stupid is using any drugs he can find, not selling them . . .
I think KY is already patented . . . |

| Re: Trackday Completely different when we know each other and pass the silly banter back and forth all the time. When he wrote those, he wasn't attacking. Simply having fun with other members that do the same back. |

I think KY is already patented . . . | Maybe you need to step back from the keyboard and catch your breath.
When I asked the name of your friend, I (as organizer/manager of the Grattan event) felt that I may be able to assist you in locating some of the photographs you were seeking. You quite innocently (as you later pointed out) thought that I was being smug or attempting some sort of humor as you misread my post and thought my signature was part of the text. As you probably noticed by the post I made between your over-reaction, I was intent on helping you out.
I have been a member of this forum almost as long as it has been around, and have been a moderator since my second month as a member. All of the quotes you posted above were made in response to humorous posts made by other long standing members and/or moderators and for each post you can name, I would wager that a straight question to their intended recipients would confirm that these were taken in jest, as they were intended.
It would also appear that you are unable to fathom the camaraderie that exists on this forum and aren't able to tell when someone is trying to assist you. Maybe if you stick around for a while, you might catch on to the general tone of this forum and not jump all over something that you may have misinterpreted. |
