South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Hello my name is Richard and I have an issue with motorbikes. I often ride them above the speed limit and I'm hear today to talk about my issues. I have blown many up including a Z1000 which I must confess was my fault, down shifting, trying to get extra speed out of the corners, husaburg smr510 blew the balance shaft out the front of the engine and I've just rebuilt my ZX6R.
I THINK my issues also stems further as I've just had to replace my gearbox in my car as I blew that up last week also.

So I'm hear today to seek help and forgiveness and I promise, when I'm 65 to keep bikes under 180mph and cars 149mph.. The gearbox's of past be my witness.

Hello Richard and welcome. That's some confession.

I'm guessing you're some riding God that loves the track and the motorways. Got a gixxer by and chance?

Jump on in and see if there's any Rideouts you fancy joining in on or other bits and pieces you fancy.

Motogp in the Pub?
Touring?
Meets?


Where are you based?

Welcome along Richard ....pls remind me not to let you take my bike for a spin

Hi and welcome Richard as Chris said I’ll keep my keys safe in my pocket & probably safer in front of you to avoid the oil slick

Alright fellas some funny replies there kinda what I was hoping for and none from the stiffs "oww you shouldn't be riding fast stick to the speed limits' I sound like a prick here but I promise I'm not. Im just a bloke refusing to get old beer pussy and bikes. Look forward to meeting some of you I'm in teignmouth originally from Macclesfield about 5 minutes from the cat and fiddle road for those who know it? I had the peak District for my play ground growing up, some of thee best biking roads in England but I've ridden in Scotland too and wow they have some awesome roads there I'd be happy to find some new roads down here so I'll keep an eye out for trips out. All the best fellas safe riding to you all

Yo yo Mr Breeze, glad we can have a giggle but we shall not have out breaks of moral and whistling is not allowed... Lol.
Definitely no speed demon myself but see you on a ride out soon on

I’m disgusted personally
No regard for those poor bikes, once their gone their gone.
Poor little machines

Hi Rich (RBeezy) Welcome to the forum. Sound like your loving a bit of speed. It also seems like you have already had people telling you that double the speed limit is not a great idea and as I am also known for doing a bit more then 69 mph i am in no position to suggest that you should be riding slower then you are. (and yes i ride a Gixxer Billinom8s)

Hope you enjoy the forum. I suggest that if your going to enjoy ride outs look for the ones listed as "Spirited" else your going to fine the ride a bit slow for your liking.

Doing those kind of speeds I am hoping your a track day'er as well as you can have great fun and know there's not a tracker round the next corner. There are a load of us on here that do track days just look in the track day area of the forum.

Being based on Teignmouth as well hope to see you on a ride out soon.

Nice fellas good bunch of lads.. were all the same doesn't matter if I riding a bog seat 90 just nice to be out isn't it forget all the worries and stress of life. Love to all ma brothers it's great here chatting to everyone as we've all got the same interest.. although I have been partial to a bit of glockenspiel playing but that's for another day stay safe lads
