Media test day-I was like kid in a sweet shop

[Paws]

I was at the media test day today with work where i was allowed to ride ANY bike that was there either on track or on a road test ride-i chose not to though as there were 2 ducati 1098's binned, a gsxr 750 and a fireblade-all in view of the most well know and also less know motorcycle journalists/magazines etc, plus it was flipping cold and windy, so just took lots of piccies instead-enjoy 8)

[Girth]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


I'd of well been taking that RC8R out!

[kwak zzr]

PAWS!!!!! u spoilt spoilt spoilt girlie!!!! HOW LUCKY ARE YOU!!!!!!!

[Paws]

Ermm i had to be at 5.15am and was there until 5pm....it was v cold and v windy, so yes lucky in a way but im shattered now.
The manufactors there were:
Aprilia, kawsaki, honda, suzuki, triumph, harley & buell, yamaha, ktm,ducati, oxford products, shoei & arai, (had my arai serviced-thicker cheek pads put him and all cleaned foc)

[Rich]

WHAT!!! That would have been a dream day, I'd have tried as many as I could. Lucky mucka! :-D

[kwak zzr]

well i was up at 4:45am too but had a much more shi##y day than you lol, i wanna ride that bayliss #21 rep!

[Paws]

lol, not got the confidence guys-esp not when theres alot of well know journos there ;)

[rictus01]

that's bordering on criminal, all those bikes and you just took picture..............:shock:

it's one thing to not be able to, or allowed to, but.............................



Cheers Mark.

[Paws]

lol soz guys but i wasnt going to battle with the journos over track time etc, it was mental-bikes coming in and going straight back out all day, plus itd only strat me off wanting something other than my 675-ignorance is bliss ;)

[Stu]

there were 2 ducati 1098's binned, a gsxr 750 and a fireblade-
and I bet there was not even any excess involved :(
A golden opportunity wasted I think.
Do you really think they would report "and Paws from Northants scratched a ...."

[Paws]

I wouldnt be paws, id be named and itd be with the company i was with, and yup they would as they took pics etc of the bikes that went down, worst one was the 1098 dropped from standstill-journo just got up and walked away leaving bike on its side!!!

[suzsv650]

Love the RGV

[Jamiebridges123]

Wow dude, nice.

But are you crazy? You can ride ANYY bike there and you didn't even have a go on the new R1 or something? One day you'll regret it.. :x

[missyburd]

Wow great pics Paws. I get where you're coming from, no point you feeling pressured into trying them out...but weren't you just a leetle bit curious as to what some of them would feel like to ride? :-D

[BanannaMan]

Great pics!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!!


:cool:
