Robbie

Couldn't agree more. He has that attitude because it makes people talk about him, like dissing bikers and the environmental brigade, He knows it winds people up. And he DOES know his stuff about cars, I mean he's been around since ford bought out the model "T" also car manufacturers take heed of some of the things he has too say I know I work for a car manufacturer

Haha loved it

i LOVE The ZZR1400 but alas Kawasaki didn't have the right deal at the time, they do it in the same colour scheme as my Z too

I have rode a busa and have loved it, It was on my list of wanted bikes before I decided on the Z1000, test riding one is a must Dave but as already been mentioned 1, They eat tyres 2, Get frisky with the throttle and they like a drink (should feel at home with that one lol ) 3, They ARE a big bike, I know stating the obvious but a big difference to a bandit lol Also my mate is selling his 03 Busa, photo below. Call me for details.

The only difference in the 2 photo's is you have a tan in the 1st

Get your glasses on old timer

Same here Dave, I got in hosed the bike down had some grub, spent some time with the sprogs and wifey had a shower and am now posting this from my nice warm pit also not looking forward to that 5 am alarm call :-(. As already been said a VERY BIG thankyou to all that planned the route and for the hospitality

Great ride and nice meeting up with some familiar faces and some new ones too.

yep, its less than 10 mins away. I'll text you before 8 if im not coming as like i said earlier if its wet when i get up i wont be there.

Me as long as its dry in the morning otherwise Im staying in bed Yeh, good point, who is going and what time we meeting. it all here have a read through the thread gaz Just been and filled up ready for the morning,full tank should get me to Stu's It will the way you ride lol

Me as long as its dry in the morning otherwise Im staying in bed

Don't worry the only sausage he'll want would be Dave's chipolta Well done and all the best

What time will you need to leave LA to get there Robbie ? Now as it gets a bit wet on the crossing

Yeah you do ya big shirt lifter

Good news I may well be coming after all (weather still permitting ) I thought we were going to Gamefest on Sunday but we're going Saturday so you all may still have the pleasure of my company

Why all the negative responces I bet its cheaper than a trailer and less hassle to park up at home if you haven't got a drive also looks like it could be transported in the boot. A good idea in my opinion and no more tyre or chain wear than if you were riding the bike.

I had planned on coming as long as weather was dry but just been reminded by wifey that we have tickets to take our boys to Gamefest at the N.E.C So sorry wont be there

Ive been going for the past 15 odd years with only missing 1 or 2 shows. Yes it has got worse over the years with some of the big names not even bothering to show like they did about 3 years ago but last year was a lot better than previous years. I shall be going and taking along my 2 boys who went for the first time last year and loved it especially as they got to ride the bikes on Honda's "my first licence stand

I've ran nitrogen in my Bandit tyres for a few years. Straight after having new tyres I'd go to 1 of 2 car tyre places and ask them to fill them up with nitrogen. Over the years I've either been charged £2 for both tyres or once they didn't charge me at all

Yep your right, they dont leak anymore

I'm cool with Stratford There's also a couple of other Premier inns In Coventry just off J2 M6. One is right next too Cinema, Burger king, Taybarns (Buffet style all you can eat restaurant), Bowling alley, Pizza Hut. Gielgud Way, Cross Point Business Park, Coventry CV2 2SZ The other is next to T.G.I Fridays and Cocked hat pub (good cheap grub )Rugby Road, Binley Woods, Coventry CV3 2TA Dave should be able to over a review on the above Hotel next to T.G.I's shouldn't you Dave ya tight git There's also one near Broad street in Birmingham city centre J6 M6 I think it is but although Broad street has a lot of night time entertainment I've been told that it can sometimes kick off there. I've been there a few times myself and nothing has happened but I know a few "Brummies" that have seen other wise.

Couldn't agree more. This country is too politicly correct and it pisses alot of people off. Some little scrote goes and robs a few cars and burns them out and what happens............he'll get a little holiday and a pat on the head saying now now dont do it again.

No Kawasaki quote it as "curb weight" which is real world weight I.E. including full tank of fuel,oil,water and they even mention battery fluid. Go on I dare you to go for a test ride I've ridden my mates 07 Z1000 and in my opinion there 2 different machines.

You forgot Dave used to be a disco dance teacher in the 1870's.....sorry i mean 1970's http://youtu.be/ZJj6d5QSYaE
