greatest/proudest biking moments

hi everyone,

just looking through the latest threads and this sprung to mind.

out off all your biking moments,which do you wish you could go back to and do all over again?

to start the ball rolling,
i was riding with a mate on the back of my then rgv250,we were following a bus down a very long,steep incline.
the bus indicated to pull in left to a bus stop,so i slowed down ,once the bus had pulled over i blipped the throttle open to go past,bam straight away the front end came up to balancing point(if any of you have ridden an rgv you will realise how easy this is to do,whether you mean it or not especially2up)we then overtook the bus still at balancing point riding like this for about another 30/40 yards (still going downhill)

at this time all i could hear was loads of cheering and clapping ,once the front end came down i looked in my mirror and accross the road behind me was around 5 hundred people waiting to get inside to a rythem&blues festival all looking at us.(talk about centre of attention)

this was not pre-planned or done for the pose but f*** me what a buzz to be appreciated by so many people.

Proudest moment was passing my test, had the biggest smile on my face ever to be honest, my cheeks were aching the next day.

Best other moment for sheer buzz, has got to be a ride out of matlock I had near the end of summer, myself and a random huyabusa. I know the quite route i took home like the back of my hand whether it be by bike or car, and I obliterated the busa, at the next crossroad he asked if it was a 1000, it was also the first time i got my knee down whilst not going round a rounabout lol.

I've only ridden for about 3 months, but the best so far was flying past my boss round some twisties on my restricted SVs, with him on a ninja-9r

Yeah but Busa's dont count as they are only ridden by Weekend Warriors, who do 200 miles a yeat on them.

FACT!

mostly today I will be wearing a flame-proof suit, hugging a fire extinguisher and hiding from Busa owners (actually going for a curry on my bosses expense account :P)

Passing my test this year, then getting on my sv for the first ride wobbled out da road, came back a few hours later 80 miles road.....It was just awesome, I then knew it was totally the right bike! I loved the first ride and still do....love my bike

I'm looking foward to the summer, when I can do a lot riding!

Chasing Busapete and K on the NvS ride with Richie no numbers in my mirrors.

Passing cbt and full license got to be number 1 for most folks?



Getting ready to ride off the ferry at my 1st TT.

Owning any bike from new.

Grinding bits of bike while not crashing.

Winning any sort of trophy.

Boring friends and family with "bike talk" so much they go and see for themselves what all the fuss is about, then seeing them on any type of bike.

1st ton.

A big garage.

Dusting GTI'd mates with a 12bhp 125 everywhere (was'nt allowed on M/way )

Any charity/toy/xmas/egg run.

Getting passed another bike that spec-sheet wise, you should'nt.

1st scream from a pillion. (M or F)

Has the guy infront of you got crutches strapped to his back?

That camera set up is awsome, very stable and good position, do you have a picture of it mounted and anymore details?

[Bluepete]

The guy in front is K on her Blade which sounds superb! And yes, they are crutches! Vry odd following her with those on view!

The camera is a Fuji F31fd on a Ram mount on the bars.
