this will make sense to those who came to silverstone yesterday.....i want it!

[Spider]

haha go for it babes! hehe!

[Gazdaman]

CB500s are good bikes, google CB500 cup, I was tempted with one as a road bike for track use.

Gaz

[harriebird]

i know, they're great, i already have one and am very very tempted to turn it into a track bike......!

[DoodleBug]

make sure you get the hi-viz vest to go with it! ;)

[harriebird]

nope i'll only need that when i can ride like a total track god.....but the skull and crossbones on the tail were SO cool!

[Gazdaman]

Visibility on track is important, some people on zx6-rs are intent on wearing you as a nose cone.

:D Love you really Whippet.

Get chatting to some CB500 racers, that's how I got loads of my MZ parts, poaching bits off racers.

Gaz

[Spider]

pmsl! haha!

[RaceMeNSee]

OMG harrie...DO IT...Those bikes were wicked good! On the very first session there were just two racing each other......and i couldnt figure out what they were!? Oh who was that dude, that came down all in textiles with a big camera?!

[becky]

that was harries dad

Was that the lad that wadded it session two?

[Gazdaman]

Err, IIRC it was session 3. MZ seized and I don't think Whippet expected me to lock up a wheel half way down the straight.

Gaz

[RaceMeNSee]

but i watched the whole thing, and he coulda slown down...AGES before he got close to you....i think he got target fixation with you!!

[SDM]

I think you should really keep your thoughts on what you would have done to yourself, it might be a different story if you was out on the track...........

[gixer400]

although i love you dearly jon :cuddle, i do agree with this fellow. i know you can brake very well in short distances. but the other guy might not have the same confidence as you, or his brakes could be weak or any number of things.

[Gazdaman]

I don't blame Whippet at all!! I wouldn't be expecting someone to slam the anchors on so hard a wheel locks half way down a bloody long straight.

Good on him for missing me, if he'd have hit me I probably still wouldn't have blamed him.

Gaz

[harriebird]

Oh who was that dude, that came down all in textiles with a big camera?!
yes, as becky says, twas my pops. he'll be well chuffed he has been referred to as a dude, in whatever context!

[winjaninja]

If it was this one, it was one of the mcnninjas lads

[harriebird]

if we are on about whippet he has a silver 636 with a silver and black and white special seat jobby

[Gazdaman]

Yeah, we know who it was, I have him earmarked!

Only kidding, nah it's a silver 636, probably some pics of it lurking around somewhere.

And holy monkeys, that bike looks like it hit something HARD!

Gaz

[gixer400]

ooh. poor bikey

[auroredj]

but i watched the whole thing, and i coulda slown down...AGES before he got close to you....i think he got target fixation with you!!

You have no idea what speed he was doing, the fact that it was his first track day, and how he interpreted the situation, so don't make assumptions about situations you obviously know s**t all about :angrypun :punch1 :mad:

[Juvenilerider]

Now, now, it doesn't matter what happened, because nothing happened. Everyone's ok, nothings damaged, and at the end of the day, its a track, **** happens. Be happy everyone is alright.

[harriebird]

anyway, back to CB500s as track bikes....... :grin2

[Juvenilerider]

anyway, back to CB500s as track bikes....... :grin2


Good luck at Silverstone!

[harriebird]

ahhhh thanks sweety, can we play this game all day :skip

[RaceMeNSee]

WOW WOW WOW
! chill everyone, nothing was meant by it...Gaz had no brake lights obviously,so there was no way he coulda known he was slowing down, just saying from what i saw it looked like he had target fixation....Sorry! And to be honest - Whippet DID save the day.....He was just about to smack into Gaz with his back end, then made the decision to let go of the brakes....and managed to slip past him...if id have given the brakes a big hand full......i wouldnt have eased off, and me and gaz would be one today!lol no harm meant...i didnt evan get to go on the track, cause i suck and have no leathers!

[Whippet]

[QUOTE

:D Love you really Whippet.

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

[RaceMeNSee]

Sorry whippet!
:bike2

:headbash

Please ask your rents not to smack me! lol

[Whippet]

[harriebird]

i think you would have have to be nuts to turn a comuter bike into a track bike why dont you do it with the cbr

What size are you and what's your budget?

£20 and a bit of luck on fleabay could get you sorted.

[becky]

that cb 500 did look cool, couldnt even notice that it was a CB....

gaz and whippet my dad has caught ur little moment on camera i will bring it to the pub on wednesday.....to be honest i was hitting 140 down that back straight so i dont no wot whippet was getting.........im still smiling, roll on the next track day...

[RaceMeNSee]

errrrrr...... not so sure on the sizes...wheres rob when you need him.....but the budgets like £100!for now anyways....pinching the pennys at the mo!

[Lateshift]

£100 will get you a decent set of leathers on there anyway ;)

[winjaninja]

What he said

I got a set of really good Swifts, second hand for £35. If the worst happens, you've not binned an £800 set of Alpinestars to add to your woes

[auroredj]

gaz and whippet my dad has caught ur little moment on camera i will bring it to the pub on wednesday.....

I would appreciate it if anyone with footage of Whippet's little moment could copy it to disc for me, I'm more than happy to pay for discs or supply them

[Whippet]

to be honest i was hitting 140 down that back straight so i dont no wot whippet was getting.........im still smiling, roll on the next track day...

I was doin bout the same maybe a little bit more by the end of the day cos i was lovin it so much didn't want that day to end at all

[Spider]

me 2 but i got taken home early by an asshole who wanted to get to work on time! GRRRR i could rode ma ninja with a dropped valve!

[harriebird]

i don't think i clocked much more than 110 to be honest but i don't really care, i was faster than some round some of the corners towards the end of the day, and that's good enough for me. it was my first one and the fact that i even did it still amazes me!

[Spider]

u done brilliantly babes!

[SDM]

You was the fastest of them all in the last session, you were SURPERB...:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

[harriebird]

haha nice try but it wasn't hard really was it! maybe that;s what i need to do, just make sure i only ever race on my own and then i'll always be the quickest :clap

[RaceMeNSee]

When ever i saw you, ya were hooning! and when we were watching from that corner, you were arched right over at speed every time! you coulda reached out and touched the floor with your hand!!! lol Im was Very Impressed!

[Gazdaman]

Becky, is it digital? Any chance of posting it up? I've got hosting. If you need a hand or whatever, give me an email, gaz@gaz-racing.co.uk

Or MSN, pumpupdavolume@hotmail.com

I'm the only person who doens't know how close it was!!

Gaz

[becky]

its on a camcorder, dont have a clue how to post it up, or even get it on the computer, shane mite no how too.

[Biker Dude]

give it to rick, he has the tools and the knowhow...

[Gazdaman]

Yeah, is it a digital camcorder or a normal tape one? I'm itching to see it.

I'm back in Bristol now so I shan't be at the pub, think Ricky said he caught it on cam aswell.

Gaz
