You want a bike to fix but yet you couldn't figure out the correct forum to post in and had to be moved.

bladeracer · 03-19-2009, 11:39 PM

Maybe if you explained what you mean by "tricks" we could give you some ideas...

lanbrown · 03-19-2009, 11:41 PM

Take a gander at his profile.

bladeracer · 03-19-2009, 11:47 PM

Oh dear :-)
Bye bye!

bladeracer · 03-20-2009, 12:00 AM

Oh, and I'll race you at whichever circuit you choose!

jhodge2010 · 03-20-2009, 10:48 AM

well by tricks i mean all the wheelies, ingos, and every thing else that you could do on a sport bike and sure i will race you with my bike that i have right now

bladeracer · 03-20-2009, 10:52 AM

You can do those tricks on mopeds and scooters so don't let that decide your choice.
Which circuit do I meet you at?

jhodge2010 · 03-20-2009, 10:56 AM

What bikes have you already owned?
For pure stunting I think the 929/954 are highly regarded and are outstanding roadbikes. You'd be much better off asking on stunt forums though I would think.
If you plan to race I can only recommend one of the GSXR's depending on how big you are and whether you race long or short circuits.

I'm in Western Australia :-)
I'd love an excuse to ride at Willow Springs though!

If you really want to try something different and exciting I would go to Daytona first.

bladeracer · 03-21-2009, 8:57 AM

I like technically challenging circuits and I've heard Willow is right up there for difficulty. Daytona being a more famous track has probably been rolled perfectly flat with perfectly shaped turns. I'd be disappointed if I went all that way to discover that :-)

spina220 · 03-21-2009, 11:30 AM

Definatly not so much a technically challenging track but a very unique, I mean there is no other track that the straight is on a wall, and there is alot of it, the drafting is like no other ever done on any other track. I would race on technically challenging tracks all year, but always looked foward to the Race of Champions at the end of the year at Daytona. I think there isn't one racer in the world who would say they didn't have fun racing there. So I don't think you would be that dissapointed,but you know what they say, "different strokes for different folks."

i know that for a fact

Are you 100% sure about that? I'm up for a bit of fun too.

What have you ridden before? How long for? Any track experience?

spina220 · 03-21-2009, 5:09 PM

Usually the guy who says he is the fastest gets smoked the worst.

For it to be a fact he would've already had to have "raced" everybody on the planet.
I'm not even sure what he means by "racing".

Twincam · 03-21-2009, 10:56 PM

He seems to think he can...

I think this calls for a bet. Could be a rich man some time soon.

I've long wondered what happens when you lean a bike below horizontal since traction is a function of gravity. I'm not aware of any track though that has enough bank to do it. BTW - the lean angle indicators on MotoGP are crap since they only measure from horizontal with no regard to the camber of the turn.
Drafting...not really, I went through the flat out speed stage over twenty years ago so it doesn't do anything for me anymore :-)
For me, racing is merely an extension of road riding and should be used to enhance your riding skills toward everyday use. The further it gets from that the less interest I have in it. When I started racing, Superbikes were basically the same as the spectators bikes in the carpark - just better maintained :-)
