    You know what i love about this little story

    Is the fact the you say you were knocked unconscious before seperating from the bike but you now how may tims the bike then cart wheeled after being knocked out.

    Sounds like shit to me[xx(]

    Im with the above if you dont fighter it FUCK OFF to another site.

    why the fuck would I make up a story like that while I'm sitting here with a busted up leg and thumb is that what you do in your spare time I'm just on here looking around seeing what you guys have done trying to get some ideas you sure know how to make a fellow aussie feel welcome. a mate was following me who saw the whole thing happen obviously bullshit he told me I must have dreamt I hit the fence at 130kph and coincidently fallen out of bed explaining my 3 day stay in hospital yeah after I parted from the bike I hit the fence out the front of the local cemetery but I just made that all up so you would like me damo great talking to you buddy thnx for the other people who welcome inquisitive guests instead of abusing them

    Welcome to the nuthouse Boris.
    Hope your recovery goes speedily,

    as for the bike, Naked is best.
    Plastics are ghey [}]
    I taste so good you'l want the recipe.

    you need to be more concerned about fitting your engine than how pretty it will look with or without fairings.

    Blinged to the max,but you get the idea....
    I don't think plastics are ghey, but you'd be doing the bike a favour, by loosing the combined fairing/bracketry weight, seeing they're probably rooted anyway!!
    Er......welcome to the madhouse.

    I've had the 12r apparently to 260. But that of course was on a closed road [:O]
    Then there is that turbo busa wedged into a gsxr750 that was stratospheric...

    Boris - this site prides itself on being a bit rough mate, no one is ever going to censor you and you can say whatever is on your mind. If you can handle the hazing and stick around there's a good bunch of blokes to tap into. And if someones giving you shit you give it right back. I sometimes wonder if this is what prison is like but without the soap and shivs.

    Welcome aboard Boris. Yea, we do things differently here.
    As for over 200kph, take a bandit, FZ1 or one of the new Honda CBs out for a test ride and get up to that speed, then you'll know exactly. The main difference is that your legs are tucked up like a race bike instead of lying low. It's a radical position that most people really like after their first ride. If you are a regular 200+ rider you'll be wanting fairings of some kind though mate.

    Hi Boris and welcome to Hazeville!
    I think you're on the right track if you're looking for fairings.... everyone here's trying to get rid of 'em... In fact, I have a set for a limited edition 95 gxsr1100 that I'd part company with, including the headlight.
