Hiya guys.
Any bikers out there? my other love apart from gaming and PCs is sports bikes.
Im currently driving a Kawasaki Ninja Zx-6r P8F in lime green of course PDT_Armataz_01_14

(see attached picture...i wasnt in bike suit that day as i was cleaning it and not going far. ) sorry for picture quality i had to resize to comply with 256kb limit.

Weather here has been terrible for about two months which isnt much fun for biking...roll on summer!!

Only got the A1 license when i was 16 so only allowed to ride upto 15bhp/125cc shitbags.
Had 3 of those so far, but rode several larger ones and really want to upgrade to full license, costs too much though because Sweden sucks.
In Finland i could just apply for upgrade license, £65 and it would be done. Sweden i have to do everything from start so it would run me £800-1600.
Prob gona do it this summer though and buy a cheap 883 Sportster or borrow my brothers CBR600, he got a TrippleSpeed last summer so its just gathering dust atm.

Cant be much fun riding a gixxer round essex PDT_Armataz_01_15

. where in essex you live? i come from Rainham near Romford. and round there you litterally cant go over 40Mph cos of the speed humps and traffic cameras on EVERY street. the new A13 used to be nice before they put all the trafiic cameras in

i got it pretty luxury here in Devon. long winding country lanes and coastal roads and the best of all. Dartmoor national park......oh the roads are soo glorious its like the IoM TT up there(though you have to keep an eye out for the wild ponys and sheep)

As i remember from Road Rash on SEGA Megadrive
"The nitro bike can take you from 0-60 in 2 seconds, a tree(or pony) can take you from 100-0 in 0 seconds"

yeah pretty spooky!!! harrow lodge park is pretty much where i grew up!!

Nice bike. is it heavy?. it looks heavy. the rear seat cowl reminds me of a busa rear end. looks like its had a awesome paint job too.
Love to see it all finished.
BTW do you have a preference for tyres. im just about to replace mine. i had Maxxis but they were way too soft and only got 2000 miles out of em. i think a few wheelies didnt help much.
Im think either Battlax bt016 or michelin road pilot 2.
Suggestions? dual compond preferably as i do some long distance riding but also like to throw it around XD

This bike is lighter than my other one which is a zx9 and a lot faster :), I normally use bridgestone tyres good in the wet and dry get real hot an sticky plus they last a lot longer than dunlops

You UK bikers out there need to do the Cat and Fiddle run, between Buxton and Macclesfield. Biking Heaven, seriously.

My previous bikes, from age 16 onwards -

Yamaha BW 50cc Scooter - got rid of it as soon as I hit 17 and could get a 125. People kept asking if I had one for the other foot.

Champ Stealth SS125 - piece of shit korean copy of a chinese copy of a honda

Honda Bros 400 - Japanese Grey Import. Older than me. Loved it.

Suzuki Bandit GSF1200N - also an awesome bike, had a tendency to overheat if stationary for too long - nearly shrinkwrapped my waterproofs to my legs in London one memorable day

BMW K1200S - had it for 8 months, took it off-roading as it were, insurance write-off

Loved everyone of my bikes.

That bandit is oilcooled though right? i had a Gsf600n bandit and that was oilcooled and would overheat too. Im not sure i like the BMW`s with the heads sticking out the side like that. makes em look awkward. like a fart in alift full of beutiful ladies XD i love the 1200RR`s though. id love to try out a shaft driven bike.

Lower center of mass, more solid handling.

Self balancing engine, no vibrations or shaking without any balance axels or weights.

The two most advantegous features of a boxer.

On a biker related not i applyed for the full license permit on monday, eye exam tomorrow and then i only need to complete two courses and drivers test and im done PDT_Armataz_01_01

The two tests cost about £500 though and the test is gona be £300... So prob no bike this summer but once i get the license atleast i have my brothers spare bike to use.

Although keeping a lookout if i find a crashed FMX650, XT660X or f650gs for sale to restore and ill get that in a heartbeat.

Not hardcore enuff to ride a bike in winter here, so cozy in a warm toasty car instead.

Feck not having a bike, going to look att a pre-owned KTM 640 SM -04 on Saturday.
Rather do the drivers test on a bike i know than rent one from the driving school.
