I'm sorry mate

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Condolences mate, that's not good...


Can't they get you a man's bike, a KTM EXC perhaps?

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Is it in the firms colours

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Beats walking at least ;)

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Not a bad bike to ride, very reliable too.

If you work hard and put more effort into work you'll get a 450 next year ;)

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

not a bad bike at all and its a yam so verry well made and reliable :)

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

yeh i'm sorry too:D-in an ideal world we'd have the KTM but i'll just have to struggle on with this and grudgingly accept the fact that

1-I don't need to plod now:grin:
2-I'm getting paid over thirty grand a year to ride this:grin::grin:
3-Getting brand new top of the range kit:grin::grin::grin:
4-Overtimes gonna be rolling in:grin::grin::grin::grin:

so overall no matter how she-ite some people think the bike is as far as i'm concerned i'm in a win win situation:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

As I said before, nice bike.

But what exactly are you going to be doing with it...?

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Hahaha, you really do need to learn more about bikes, sunshine.

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

so whats wrong with a yam then ........ never hand any problems with mine or my dads FEW in the past ?

and i would say almost any yamaha from this day and age is better made than the equivelent suzuki ofc im my opinion

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

I'm sure lozzo has had a FEW in the past too ;)

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

he may have but been part of the yam forum and having owned im my house mt-03,2000 r6,2004 fazer1000,xt660x and some other thing carnt remeber what it was we have not had one problem ... ever and i hardly ever hear of problems on the yam forum

maybe im just lucky but i have had no problems so i think there good as sead my opinion may not be shared by others

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Couldn't work out what point you were trying to make due to poor grammar...



























;)

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Yeah, carnt really grates on me too but it's not uninteligble.

Just don't think ;) excuses everything.

It's youff speak, its how predicidicted text spells it on a chinese made fone ;)

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

So what exactly is it that you do then?

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work

I'm positive barwel has said a few times that he is dislexic, i don't think we need to keep pointing out that his post's are not allways written in the Queens english, neither are mine, but i can allways make out what he is saying. peace and love.

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

husky, you have my dream job!
lucky lucky lucky guy!

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Came across a copper riding one of these in the Centre of Leeds a few weeks ago. He rode up a set of steps, across a footbridge and down the steps at the other side. I was on the footbridge and told him he had a nice job as he passed. Getting paid to chase criminals round the local park, great fun!

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Isn't a 250 a little underpowered if your in xxxl kit and going to be chasing some kid on a stolen 250...?

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

you are indeed quite right :) and its somthing i am working on

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

The WR250 is awesome off road. You lucky blighter!

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

the headshed has been testing one for the last month and he's more than happy with the performance, reckons its good up to 90 on the roads, but most of our "targets" are gonna be off road.I've just finished a bulk so i'm due to cut soon and will drop about 1-2 stone so i'll be coming in at a nice 16 stone.

Matt-i know mate-very lucky to get this position,i've worked my backside off for the past five years and can honestly say i've contributed to making a difference for the locals where i work but this time its my turn to try something different-going to be going to wales for the bmw offroad training that charlie and thingymy mcgregor done -looking forward to it.

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Nah, if the going gets rough he can just put his legs down and run, the bike will stay wedged betwixt his cheeks...

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Good luck with the course mate. It is an enviable position to be in for those of us looking in, but I bet it won't all be sunny bimbles across the local landscape.

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Nice Husky , Nice . And I`ll bet a year`s wages you could probably hustle one of them around wasteground in a safe and progressive fashion than any Chav or offroad wannabe could ;) . After watching a fair bit of those "Road Wars" style TV programs over the last week (off sick at the moment) and quite a lot of them seem to be on bikes ranging from MT50`s to CCM R30`s and these kids end up dumping them , despite being chased by a car and the officers have even ran them down on foot after they crash . Good luck with your dream job dude and most of all , have a great time on the BMW course .

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

You would be suprised what a chav (who knows what hes doing) on a dirtbike is capable of.

If its a stolen bike or they are somewhere they are not supposed to be, they can shift.

I know the WR250 can do 90 as Ive tested one at little london enduro.
Nice solid bikes.
If You were looking at getting one for yourself though, go for the 450...




...KTM ;)

Re: I'm gonna be getting paid to ride one of these all day at work
 

Aye , one that knows what he is doing will always have the upper hand especially with local knowledge , but your average will probably dump and run at the first chance they get when they reach civilisation .
