I think I have got the hang of it, leave it on the side-stand, just past TDC and use all my weight to get it going.........not..... she kicks back, and I go over the handlebars in a crumpled mess.

Your not alone happened to me once leaving my girlfriends house with family looking on kick-starting my Panther 600.

I just love rascal stuff.....

 

 

l guess they do it cause they can for me rich boy toys and extreme customized stuff is not my thing really,   

A specialized sport car company Sbarro Switzerland based,  built a one off car ref from Z1300 sites where two Z1300 engines and own gearboxes were mounted and connected only by belt,  each engine drove its own rear wheel.

 

I said before l passed my test in UK on my mates Bantam it involved start the bike look behind and ride off around an open area of roads forming a block,  the examiner stopped me saying ride around again the opposite way and prepare for your emergency stop,  coming back l couldn't see him until he jumped out behind a tree, l thought that a was be silly but passed test after 3 highway code road safety questions.

This following was from a writer at MCN who made him go for a new motorcycle test which is much tougher, a good laugh.

My examiner told me to speed up a bit!!! He jumped out from behind a parked for the emergency stop.

......and you ran him over?

 

A cop did that to me coming out of Sydney airport, I stopped with mms to spare...... He said he thought I was speeding...I asked him why he jumped out in front of me... if he thought I was speeding? Doh!!!

I was nicked for speeding 3 hours after passing my test. Luckily, I managed to get off the extra fine for not displaying an 'L' plate!

Did you see that Kawasaki ZX6-R ad that got banned in Oz, funny. 

What is the motorcycle test in Oz like these days. ?

There are all sorts bikes for you if you want in Thailand but what about the bike you would really like in Thailand.

I've ridden but not owned a Hayabusa in UK so how many here have ridden or got a Suk Hayabusa l like the comments made by some writers like  " when l pin the throttle and the rear tyre finally grips the world spins faster."   

Inborn passion or genetic mutation?  Anyone ever see this bike around in Thailand?

 

This cargo trailer setup is pretty cool.

 

 

 

 

Im sure there is no dangerous ornaments on the first picture!  How would that ever pass an MOT in the West?

 

Loved the Ben Hur photo..... or maybe it could be a Mad Max prop?

Now heres a Vespa Id have no problem in riding.....

 

 

Where does one sit?

Wouldnt want to get any 'dangly' bits caught in the chain...

 

 

  ok thats enough from me.  Lots of intersting stuff on the web and the imagination can run wild.

What about the big scoots now in Thailand now I guess Honda went too soon with the E4-01 never the DN-01.

 

Never thought I would see this name again, what a lovely looking machine...

 

Wicked , I want

Started 21st century design Brough motorcycle 2013, engine made by a French company that give Kwacka's ZX10R engine a winner in WSBK.

Not my thing and a basic model starting around £46,000 + it's just another rich-mans toy.

He reckoned the Matchless was the best bike he ever had, never faltered, went all over the country on it. Sadly he had to admit he had one of these for a VERY short while....

 

I can remember being behind those things and choking...

That looks like a 350 The 500's were popular.
