I would spank BMW M3's all day long at the tracks
with my (BLACK) Porsche. I didn't care what color the M's were.
( although Now that I think about it the Black ones
were the fastest of the Bimmers) :wink:

Nothing wrong with L4TUA's front brake.....see the position of the lever in this photo

not getting in another battle legman, but that pic don't really mean *hit. He could be releasing the brake to bring the back end back down. You don't apply full pressure the entire time, you'll flip over! :-)

Corners, I should have believed your word bro; I got it up yesterday on a 3rd , stand up one.. needs a little bounce on a front and just lift it up with throttle.. :-D However, I feel more in control when clutching it up.

Need to get new pics..

Here's couple old ones

This could make it 4th on a row... :hammer:



Nice pictures L4TUA!!! I will get you added soon!!!

You wont be starting another battle CB. I have never done a stoppie (that wasn't accidental)
in my life and it was just an uninformed observation and I accept that I was probably wrong.

BTW the last time I got some air under my rear wheel I sh!t my draggin jeans (well almost).
I think I am too old for those sorts of heroics.

Corners, CB, and TonUp, I am proud to be part of the Hooligan brotherhood!

This sudden raise from a squid to a proper Hooligan, has confused me entirely. I now need to change my life manners to more mature and live my life, like this would be my last day of my life... :-D .

Anyway, Love the bike for bits, Have done break-pad pushing alreadyand just 500miles in clock, so Mr Triumph, not sorted that for 2006 either.. (although, my driving style on a front wheel does put more emphasis on a brake lever feeling.. :razz: )

And Legman, on that one endo picture, I was already releasing front brake.. not much, just a bit.

We have national "street bomber night" tonite, So I have to live with my new Hooligan reputation... :hammer: :hammer:

Anyway, luv u all,
It has been emotional.. :-D
