Sunday drivers!

Post by tattie »

Who needs to go to the TT, Superbikes, Moto GP. Just spend an afternoon listening to the machinery whizzing past my doorstep.
I thought I heard a Storm (orange) 1050 Speed Triple (black) and a 900ss (red) passing yesterday.
"Davie" I heard every gearchange for 3 miles north and 3 miles south, must say the storm was head and shoulders above the others for the quality of sound.


Cheers

Haven't seen you out on the bike in a while, you got that seagull damage sorted yet?

How could you "hear" what colour they were?

On a similar note, anybody with a red storm ride through Galston on Saturday(i think) afternoon being tailed by some sort of cruiser/custom thing?

thought it'd be easy to hear how fast they're going... 14 red ones went past, but so slowly they were undetected...

Voted most likely to be found dead in park bushes following an act of autoerotic asphyxiation.

I could hear what colour they were, as I was only about 8' away from them when they passed. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Probably with a combined speed of approx!!! 270mph. 8O

Gull damage :roll: not fixed yet, will be getting it done around August time, after Knockhill.
I hope there will be a decent contingent heading down to the superbikes on the sunday morning.

Cheers
