YOUR STORY - A streetfighter tale in Rapid......

[Fight_fan]

lol No appology needed Mick, all good mate! Forgot all about the build pics hey... Oh well...
Deano 4 sure!

[Gix11]

Deano gets my vote as well, then there's heaps more I'd suggest, like Billywhizz, Rockhard and Rocket, Hooligan, GSXAR, the list goes on....

DEANO: Where are you?

If not Deano, who else want to have a go?

[Gitzy]

I might have a crack when I get home Mick, see if I can bore you lads with something.. [:p]

[Fight_fan]

Thats the spirit Toddy!

[Gitzy]

Doneski, tis on its way. :D Hopefully good enough..

[Deano]

All good things come to those who wait. When I have a bike worthy with a power output I am happy with

I'll check with Jeff tomorrow when he and his hangover get back from the USA.

Gitzy spreads his legs for everyone to have a poke in issue #66.

No pics of Mrs Gitzy though :(

[Gitzy]

Schweet :D:D.. I hope it looks better than I remember Mick.. I sound like a right penis sometimes [B)].

Whats this soon, get into it mate! ;)

[psycobilly]

i'm only new but what a great way to get the word out from an underground movement. i can understand some people are reluctant to showcase their talents, but this is an opportunity to be seen by the general public, embrace it for all it is worth or lose it!

[hyofighter]

picked up a copy today , nice write up gitzy and now its in writing get cracking on the tl , and i was well chuffed to see my shed in there too

[xtmuz]

Just got a copy to day

[ALBI]

[Gitzy]

Cheers Lads :D

Wee lie Albi? do tell?

[ALBI]

whereis me book "im looking for the section now mate "
ahha here tis "qoute" q current fighter :2000 yamaha
a after i sold my beloved bandit 1200(which was my first real fighter build), i used the proced's and bought myself a second-gen R! from a fellow ASF member. "un qoute"
if i remember when i popped over to see youre steed you still had the bandit and already had the R1!! hmmmmm then after a few visits i told you and some other ASF members told you aswell you should just sell the bandit and finish the R1!! hmmmmmmmmmm lol

[Gitzy]

Lol minor oversight Holmes ;) , used proceeds from the Street Triple sale to buy the R1, and bought the parts for it with the B12 sale, my bad..

[Jed]

[Jed]

Hey Wacky. I just re-read your article and saw that your from Malta. I have a friend over there who used to own a big old timber turkish fishing boat that was converted into a charter boat for tourists. i think it was called "Alevok". Malta's a pretty small place. Just thought you may know of it.

Cheers, Jed

[xa-mont]

[kev@vcm]

well done jules . will be off to get my rapid today and have a read

I wanted you guys to understand what i wrote, you already suffer enough with the English language, I didn't want to make it any harder :D

[BANDITROD]

You dirty little import wash your mouth out

[hooligan]

I've heard that Rod dreams about you making it harder for him.

Apparently my French isn't that good...

Go and buy more copies of Rapid Bikes. I've worked out that if everybody buys two, we'll make twice as much...

[Jed]

I'm stoked:D My ZXR made it into this months issue. Cheers to you all who helped out with advice and inspiration from your builds.

[Fight_fan]

Congrats mate!
Throw a pic up so we can all read it! ;)

[Big Dan]

Well done Jed it came out good[8D]

I'll see what I can do

[Gix11]

Hey lads, we've had some great stories in the Fightin' Words section of Rapid over the last months and it's great to see the builds in print.

I just got a message from Jeff saying that they had used up all the submissions they had received. Is there anybody out there who was thinking of doing this but never did who might want to see their bike and fighting words in a two page spread in Rapid Bikes? The deadline is in 2 days so if you're keen or had something not quite finished then get the details into Jeff ASAP.

Refer to the first post of this topic for the questions you need to answer and dig out some photos for the mag as well. The whole lot can be sent to Jeff at editor AT rapidbikes.com.au (written like that deliberately to stop spam bots stealing the email address, but you know how to write it properly!)

So who's up next?

[ALBI]

lol si can you imagine me writing a article for rapid ,they would need a bloody office full of spell checking freaks and an dicstionary the sise of an house.

[ALBI]

oh and the whole mag deicated to my story as it would take that long to say hi lol

[Gix11]

They proof read and check everything mate, so you could send in crayon drawings and pictures of your arse and they'd still manage to get a story out of it.


....that reminds me. Jeff said they had computer melt down recently and lost some stuff, so if your story hasn't been shown in the mag yet, send it in again as it will make the next issue.

[ALBI]

wat my arse ,does that include the hemaroids

[Gix11]

Can I be the first to say: Your bike looks fuckin' great in this month's Rapid Scotty. Great write up and photos mate. Well done!

[Weaselman]

I'll do one. Considering im stuck in a chair I might as well :)

[hyofighter]

Can I be the first to say: Your bike looks fuckin' great in this month's Rapid Scotty. Great write up and photos mate. Well done!

cheers si , means alot

[BANDITROD]

congrats scotty

[RevHead]

well done Scott.

[Tony Nitrous]

Top job Scotty.


I thought about it but I dont think my stuff
is up to that standard. Its all pretty plain.
Maybe one day.

[Gix11]

I think your actual bike an photos are secondary to the actual story itself. It's about getting the Streetfighter story across and how builders think differently to your average Joe. The photos are just the icing on the cake and Scotty's are exceptional. I reckon anyone from here could write one of these articles. Tony, you'd have a great story, plus photos dating back to the 80's, yours would be perfect to capture the Streetfighter spirit. Weasel's will also be cool and I bet he has some corker photos!

I'm still waiting for Deano to stick his in, that's going to be great.

[Tony Nitrous]

I'm still waiting for Deano to stick his in, that's going to be great.

There's something you dont hear everyday !

[xa-mont]

I'm still waiting for Deano to stick his in, that's going to be great.

Really?

[Gix11]

Yea, I didn't say where though hey? That's between him and Jacktar.

[Weaselman]

Done and submitted! And sorry Si my pics are crap lol

[Jockney Rebel]

well done Scotty mate ..i guess as one of our senior members i should really get one in ..christ if weazel the raspberry can do it im sure i can knock up..some words to account for the myriad of bikes iv butchered for the cause lol

[Gix11]

Great stuff, looking forward to these two!

[Yella]

Done and emailed away

[Gix11]

[MDM]

So, to resurrect on old(ish) thread, anyone seen the recent streetfighter-orientated column in Rapid?...

[Gix11]

Totally missed that! Just found it so I'll give it a read.

[fimpBIKES]

[Gix11]

Sorry Conrad "I" can't do that......

[wackyrider]

Nice write-up Dave. You gonna be doing the monthly write-up from now on?

[MDM]
