I ride sportsbikes but thats pretty funny LOL Yeah yeah we all look like power rangers (actually my gear is all black but hey!) Still rather that than "Hells Accountants" Good quote i heard - "The V-Rod - bringing HD kicking and screaming into the 20th Century" (Incidentally - you cruiser people, V-Rod, Like or dislike?)

I agree with the other posters here on the aspect of Sports vs Cruiser. If you are talking cruiser, its probably ok to go bigger than a 600, but if you are talking sportsbike almost definitely not (with the exception of some V-Twins) A 1000cc cruiser will likely be heavy and you will drop it turning it in the road, a 1000 cc sportbike will be light, manouverable and likely spit you over the highside at 160mph and kill you as well as scaring you shi*less every day. I agree with the other poster, for good first bikes, look at Fz6 (Fazer) Hornet, SV650, bandit that kind of thing, whether you want to end up cruising or sportbiking, they will teach you the skills and not be too unmanageable. Good luck! Never try to eat more than you can lift

Think thats not quite right - hi end race cars such as lemans cars and a number of single seaters have ground effect venturis that actually "suck" the car down, but Formula 1 actually has that limited to slow the cars down a bit (the infamous "plank" that they had to have fitted to the underside) So there probably would be some effect but i think the speed would negate it. of course i may be talking complete bollocks. I know one of the williams guys who makes carbon fibre bits so i'll ask him if i see him! Never try to eat more than you can lift

Caspar - you jump with the UWE crowd don't you? If that club sabre is the one i think it is its a gem - ask Mat about it, i think it was his originally. I had a sabre 170 and it only ever spanked me when i was experimenting with a lot of packing methods people on here suggested. The rolling and stuffing the nose, all that stuff made it worse. Once i stopped trying to get clever with it and packed it by just stuffing the nose slightly, being VERY careful with making sure the slider was big and slightly out the front (get someone to show you what this means!) and then rolling the tail, it opened fine evry time. Like i said, talk to Mat about it, he has loads of jumps on that canopy and i don't think it spanked him at all. good luck! Never try to eat more than you can lift

Hmmmmm. Don't know if you have posted this to stir things up or what. Bear in mind that if i see a fatality even now at my early stages, it is likely to be a friend of mine. And even if it wasn't i still don't want to see it. I really hope you don't think this. Never try to eat more than you can lift
