gizza5 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Right? Bit of an update as we need to get things moving and thanks for the replies. Below is what we are thinking of using? Now your thinking why? I will take no praise apart from the ''Racing'' so it was Justin's thinking? Tim, his wife Helen and myself have birthdays in May within 3 days of each other so our Star Sign is Taurus, so where does that leave Justin...............?? Remember me saying he drinks a lot of Red Bull? We may have an answer!! He is also full of Bull Sh*t so that fits too (sorry mate!!) As we have both said we will be moving on this by middle of next week so it ain't over yet for any other suggestions and thoughts Cheers M&J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Tim being a very good ex trials rider, note the finger covering the clutch, you can spot all trials riders in road racing doing this, I did it and I saw Scorpa3 on his pics as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 All these bikes look the same to me anymore, what is it? Only thing I can ID is a Pennicle sticker, Pennicle what? Is it a Suzy? A 750 or what? I nreally do not have a clue, as I am out of it! All look the same to me. I just take an occasional spin on the Fireblade of one of the lads at work. Does me for a while, just nuts! If we had these when I was young, doubt I would tell today. Killed off quick! Cafe racing was in, back then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Mark, the bikes a k5 Suzuki 1000 gsx-r, 5 year old bike and cost 4 grand, competes against against bikes costing 10 times or more than that and with 60 bhp more so he's done well this year. Heres an onboard clip of Tim at a practice day at Mallory Park this summer, Tim is following our friend Darren Jones (#28) to check his lines for him and lapping about 4 seconds slower than his normal pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
