[Biker Dude]

lol...nice, i like the J .......there's plenty of room at the bottom of the faring for a TARK RACING.com sticker

[gixer400]

wow. looks sweet as! im glad i could help out. i like what you did with the big suzuki sticker, very original, and the J. not seen that before.

[Jims]

Yer, well apparently my dad was saying that when he was on track days with his mates, they were so used to seeing a brake light when braking, they weren't used to one not being there and were almost ploughing into the back of him! So now we just use these LED's and I figured I'd make mine into a J shape!

I like the Suzuki too! Fits on the back there perfectly! Well I was thinking about stickers on that part, then I saw on Rossi's Yammy, he has the Gauloises sticker there, so I figured it'd be cool!

As for the TarkRacing stickers, I would do, only I need my bike for tomorrow so I don't have time! Will post a message probably in few days after (moving into uni sunday) and hopefully with some pictures of the day at Lydden

You can always stick them on for next time your out on it. :wink:

Hey guys!

Yes indeedy that is my RGV250!

Only now, I am unhappy to report there are a few marks on the left hand fairing, with a larger hole than there should be through the left hand fixing on the fairing. Also some small cracks in the nosecone and a bent gear shifter!

Yes, I did indeed fall off at Lydden! Was one of the last sessions and feeling really confident after having a good day where there were hardly anyone coming past me, apart from when I was trying to get my knee down and taking it a bit slower and when I did silly things like was in the wrong gear for a corner and the bigger boys came past me on the power.

But after a damp start, it was an awkward choice of tyres, so stayed with dries for first session, but knew something was up when I spun up the rear exiting the hairpin! So chatted to a few of the more serious guys in the pit and changed to wets. From then on it was all smiles! :) my first time using wets and boy was it fun (especially as I was one of the few in my groupd with wets)! Think some of the bigger boys on the Dukes etc. weren't too happy about getting overtaken by a little guy on a pokey stroker! :lol: Mind you, was doing that all day! One {EB} though tried to nerf me off into the gravel as I nailed him around the outside of the corner leading into the straight! Had to whack the brakes on and back out.

The fall happened at the end and I got off very lightly, coming into Devil's Elbow and braked as normal, but rear locked up, then closely followed by the front! Had no choice but to continue straight on and dropped it on the grass, as there was a hay bail right in the way.

Anyway, I'm at uni now and so my RGV has been left at home for my pops to fix, but will not cost anything hopefully, just a bit of touch up on the paint and some fibre glassing and straightening of some bits!

But all in all a very good day! Only slightly hurt my finger, that was it too!

Lydden is a lovely track, but not very forgiving and takes a lot out of you as there is no time for rest. But perfect on the 250! :)

[Tark]

Now you can understand why I fall off every now and again! :roll:

[gixer400]

oh dear. it always happens just as you get it nice. at least your pops good enough to fix it while your away learning

[Jims]

Yer!

Well it's nothing major and he knows that I would do it if I could, but I can't! And anyway, think he hopes that by being nice to me and whatnot I at least get him a good nursing home or a job when he retires, either one!

Boy oh boy am I learning as well! I'm the only guy in my halls in the mechanical engineering dept. and they got us doing work, attending lectures and seminars, projects and work outside of timetables hours.... all in fresher's week!!!!!! Wish I was just doing Drama or something....!
