Cycleracer   10 #27 Posted April 25, 2004 Reading through this thread i'm tempted to go out a buy a bike but family commitments won't allow and though i have always wanted one, i probably never will. Got to stick to the peoples carrier, but i envy you lot, so go out and enjoy the wind in your hair and take care. Respect your bike and it will respect you.  Wishing i was there.

Kwakman   10 #28 Posted May 6, 2004 Hi all just been directed to this thread through those wonderful chaps from Google. Anyway I've just been and purchased myself a luvlly jubbly brand new Kwacker green ZX636R having decided to return to biking after an 8 year break. Being of the more mature flavour don't know any other bikers in the Sheffield area, would luv to buddy up with some of you guys for ride outs if thats OK. I'm still a bit rusty on my riding skills and am restricted to 60 mph whilst running in but safe and dead keen to get out and about again.

zxczxc   10 #29 Posted May 6, 2004 Hoorah, a good reason for me not to be the slowest then, even it is only while the bike gets ridden in.  Are we going to start this monday then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Kwakman   10 #30 Posted May 6, 2004 Cool, sounds good to me providing that the orrible wet stuffs not falling out of the sky. Won't be back from work till about 6:30 but any time after thats good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dragonsoup   10 #32 Posted May 6, 2004 Not feasible for me at the moment, (Old DT175 Yam enduro ,pre watercooled ) . Seriously talking myself into an Aprillia RS 250 though before they become too hard to get hold of .  Dragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cbr Dave   10 #33 Posted May 7, 2004 Hello there Kwakman - btw great choice in bike, just make sure you get loads of security on it, since you last rode, bike theft has shot up. Dont worry about the rust, I ride hard but never dangerous, dont/cant wheely so we just go at a pace that suits everyone.  Looks like we have enough riders for a ride out, I know I started this thread but I'm pretty cr*p at organising so if anybody wants to suggest a meeting place for Monday then feel free.  I think it best if we PM each other about meeting points/times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Kwakman   10 #34 Posted May 7, 2004 Hi Dave glad u like the bike, it came down to a choice between the Kwak and yours (CBR6RR) only deciding factor was the Kwak came in about £400 cheaper. Its got a Datatool system 3 alarm fitted seems to be quite sensitive, once its set if you f**t to clse to it, it goes of.  About a meet up, I've been down the Classic Rock Bar on Ecclesall Road a few times, it sounds about right for a bike meet and they have some great musicians and music down there if you're into rock of course. What does everyone reckon? Won't be able to make it till 8:45ish though and all subject to the weather coz getting drenched on a bike just don't float my boat.
