Bunking off work with my R6

[alexeycbr]

the music is de sound of engine!nice ride :)

[wwfww]

3 words - hardcore badass crazy!!!!!

[JamaicanGold70]

nice driving skills mate

[myroguepwns]

nice riding but come on man, have u not noticed ur doing the whole blip throttle thing completely wrong?

[chappersR6]

@myroguepwns I wasn't riding my best.

[Trotters222]

@chappersr6. Fair bit of experience then. I've got a crf250x and a 1995 cbr600f, I passed my mod2 2 week ago. Got a Honda c90 for fucking about on aswell!(more fun then the other two)LOL. Gunna go for a r6 next year.

[Trotters222]

BTW, how come you haven't stepped up one more notch and bought a R1 yet?

[chappersR6]

@Trotters222 I've had 3 different model R1 plus a stack of other liter bikes both twins and 4s, 750 GSXRs and most 600 class bikes mate I liked the 600s as I find them more fun to ride. I've ridden bikes since 1979 and am 49 now.

I gave up riding on the road 2 years ago I've a CRF250 and ride MX with my sons, it's more fun.

[Trotters222]

Was that the oinks at about 2:17 on the left? If it was you were lucky you'd hit some traffic! ;-)

[chappersR6]

@Trotters222 nope they were workmen I'd already eyeballed them.

[bulamen7]

2:10 was so stupid

[chappersR6]

@bulamen7 So was your comment the camera is 3 feet lower than my line of sight I don't take big chances or overtake where I can't see.

Unlike you I check before I commit to a course of action.

Next time try asking if it was a blind overtake, it will save making yourself look stupid again.

[i5sat]

so fast !!

[maintalnuttenkiller]

2:10min street control *left*!!

[chappersR6]

@maintalnuttenkiller WTF you on about?

[AskelandYo]

lol, late for dinner? nice vid:)

[DopePatriot]

Good rider. Nice video :)

[aSlightComa]

nice riding.

[lrojasma]

Who needs music when you have a 4 inline underneath.

[smooglepoot]

Crazy sick bro!

[AznNinjaSir]

god damnn you crazy but that was some nice riding bro

[david13detroit]

damn dude....you got skill...hope your still alive!

[bloodyangel5463]

This video has been posted in 2007 till now he s still alive wow lol. I am scared just watching the video.

[2late89]

Good luck on the roads, bro..

[chappersR6]

The throttle need to be used progressively, you can't just crack the throttle open and expect the Tyre to cope if you take notice I try not to crack the throttle only roll it on. Doing that reduces weight transfer upsetting the bike less.

I'm guessing the people who say the throttle is twitchy haven't ridden the bike, or if they have there may have been a issue with how the throttle was set up.

[nillerk123]

this aint a racing track dude.

[chappersR6]

@nillerk123 Well done, can I guess that you are related to Sherlock Holmes, I ask because your powers of observation are astounding .

[laduff7]

@chappersR6 im not saying that it wasnt ok... thats just what they say... and maybe it was just a proof that it doesnt matters....?

[laduff7]

0:30 and every teacher told me to not accelerate in curve?...:O

[chappersR6]

@laduff7 Are you serious, what was I supposed to do get off and push? To quote Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

applying throttle through a corner can help stabilize the bike and reduce the risk of front end washouts. although on the road and at lower speeds it matters little and in this case I had just gone past a lorry and was traveling slowly.

[chickon9999]

@chappersR6 Looking to get an R6 myself once I get my finances settled. How forgiving is the bike when you crack open the throttle like that on the curve? I thought the ass would've started sliding out the second you really give it on a lean, considering it's an R6. I only ask this because people say the throttle is twitchy as hell. Am yet to test ride one though.

[hell6666100]

motorcyclist aren't respected enough a bigger bike though its a better

i started on a hairdryer n people used to take the piss lol 1 guy i gave him the finger n he swerved, he is a good rider a damm good rider that bike looks really responsive

n seems like its on rails lol

[sbmification]

great driving!!!



[Alin4Judo]

you request respect in traffic... and thats how you guys drive all the time... at least shut up and don't say that you are not respected anymore.

respect...and i hope you will die at home.

[chappersR6]

@Alin4Judo What the F**k are you talking about, who has said anything about respect?

[chappersR6]

@Alin4Judo EH?

[Alin4Judo]

@chappersR6 in most of the countrys in europe, the motorcyclists say that they are not respected by other drivers (car drivers) in traffic. For example in Spain they come to TV and request to other drivers to respect them in traffic... but they drive to fast even in big citys. I don't want to say that you are one of them, but you are very exposed on a bike and the car drivers are not expecting motorcycles going at this speed and thats why there are so many fattalities.

Just take care of you!!!!!

[chappersR6]

@Alin4Judo There is a time and place for everything and we have to take responsibility for our own actions in this life.

[crazyoutlaw1989]

that was some really nice driving i have a r6 2007 plate there great fun to shove around

[jjsp33d]

thats how youve to ride a r6 and it wants to be ridden!

if you cant handle that go back to your tricycle! :D

[Mvz91]

no offense but you are one crazy basterd lol.

[chappersR6]

@Mvz91 None taken although I always used to ride within my comfort zone on the road so not that crazy.

[DeathVader112]

Beautiful sound!

[dinody]

It's just like playing game! :D

[pepixzkol]

nie ma to jak zapierdalać ; d

[whitechevy60]

damn,17,000 rpms sound good

[chappersR6]

No kidding, it was March or April and first ride of the year, I stick to Motocross now doesn't always matter if it rains and you can ride 12 months of the year.

Sadly have to give up Motocross too now too many injuries and no time as my sons race too now. :-(

[Thomazz46]

Must've been the sunniest day of the year there...

[keno4moto]

Wanna see more !!!

[bloodyangel5463]

I wonder what a cop on other side will do if he see driving like thhat.

[chappersR6]

@bloodyangel5463 Is this multiple choice.

Wish he was on the same side of the road,

Want to be doing the same,

or cry into his tea.

[kamiGTR]

awesome video :)

[keno4moto]

niceeeeeeeee... wanna se more !!

[Lehi145]

[1DirtbikeBoy]

[flby173]

[Ardefoc]

WOW, That truly looks like loads of fun. Riding your R6 has got to be the best part of your day.

[audio425]

[chappersR6]

[lifeisgood070]

Thats a crazy ride to work. I take it easy to work.

[CrazyJOG]

[chappersR6]

@CrazyJOG akrapovic

[crucialconflict1]

[chappersR6]

@crucialconflict1 yep

[brennanx8]

Are these roads in England? I know they drive on the left side and everything.. lol, but it just seems like all the videos I've seen of English roads are just very narrow =l

[chappersR6]

@brennanx8 yep it's england. The roads are wide enough for purpose.

[IIIxxxd34thxxxIII]

@chappersR6 where is this it looks local =] nice driving btw

[chappersR6]

Rye to Brenzett A259

[DynastyPercussion]

I have to say man you're one crazy mother 'lover' <----*edit* lol

I got a few questions for ya if you don't mind answering please:

1.What year is your bike?

2.Are there any modifications such as a PC3 or new exhaust?

3.Is the bike "dyno'd" or made to be faster?

Your response will be greatly appreciated! -Rob.

[chappersR6]

@DynastyPercussion

It had a pc111 Akro can and was mapped readouts were 114hp

the bikes a 2006 best IMO, only other mods were decent rearsets and setting up the suspension.

The only other mod I was going to carry out was fitting a 2005 down pipe set to remove the cat and free up the exhaust. (easy fit and cheaper than a full system) but I sold it for a 999 insted silly move IMO.

[gerritbuggenhout]

2:10 killer move ....

[dwnsdr3]

I love how the road specifically says "slow" lolololol

[KGBBORIS]

dude where is this?looks a bit like hastings to dymchurch run in kent?

good riding bud!!!!

[chappersR6]

Yea Rye to Dymchurch.

[marcisgreatAA]

you're driving on the wrong side of the road, were you drunk?

[chappersR6]

@marcisgreatAA It's not me that's drunk I was in the UK, we drive on the left.

[marcisgreatAA]

@chappersR6

i know hahaha just kidding, nice driving.

[chappersR6]

@marcisgreatAA :-))

[marcisgreatAA]

@chappersR6

Dutch bike license law is complicated, and mom doesn't let me...

[chappersR6]

@marcisgreatAA that's a bitch have you tried to get her around to letting you get a motocross bike.

[ChrWedege]

Neck breaking moves.

But you sure as hell handle your bike well..

[xxEDWARDxxFANPIRExx]

The bike sounds better than music anyways.

[Dejakkal]

cool vid man nice decent riding :-D

[Rustik93100]

nice driving

[chappersR6]

Thank you

[AbestPL]

this video ROCKS !!! briliant driving, litle bit insane in some moments but stil briliant ;)

[TheNewbrider]

2:09 omg u couldnt see anything -.- And socombearhusker is right... u r backshifting too late after throttling

[chappersR6]

I could see perfectly well if you were capable of riding a bike you'd know that the camera is sitting lower and can't pivot.

Backshifting what the fuck is that. I missed two up changes stop talking out of your arse.

[Archerke]

@chappersR6

agree with you..

you have some great riding skills and a good set of cojones..

i ride a 2006 gsxr 600, and thought i did some reckless manouvres.. but this is the better stuff

[chappersR6]

Thanks but as odd as it may sound I try not to do reckless moves. I try to give myself room to react and plan ahead.

Anyway I don't ride on the road anymore too dangerous, motocross only for me now.

[messos]

@chappersR6

what happened? did you crashed?

[Meowmiks]

Dude...

You're freakin nuts!

[Cuba114]

Damn! You`re an animal! The best video I have ever watched. Awesome driving.

[chappersR6]

Ah internet troll appears.

[smygexx]

This is music man :P

[MrSneetch]

mmhmm around @4:00 its very very nice. Limiter for pretty much every shift, I lust for this bike!

[trueancient]

Over taking on blind corners is dangerous and also stupid, might want to calm your riding or your going toget yourself killed one day

ride safe m8.

[chappersR6]

I think you should read back a few posts there has been no overtaking on blind corners. the camera doesn't always show the whole picture.

Don't judge other people by your own standards of observation, which you have proven to be poor.

Ride safe m8 and keep those eyes open they'll save your life if you look beyond the car in front.

[trueancient]

your the kind of person what gives motorbike riders a bad name.

[chappersR6]

And you my freind need to learn to read previous post prior to jumping to conclusions.

now fuck of and go preach to someone else. Not my fault you haven't simple observation skills.

[trueancient]

lol your such an idiot. you dont know my driving skills i could be a police officer for all you know.

[chappersR6]

I may not have experience of your riding skills but your lack of observation skills are very apparent a police officer would have read back and gathered enough information to stop himself looking stupid. You didn't you jumped to a wrong conclusion. Generally people judge other by their own standards which leads me to believe your aren't that experienced.

[chappersR6]

I've rode for over 30 years on the road and raced for a few of those. the only accidents I've been involved in were in built up areas usually caused by someones lack of observation with only two being my fault when I was first learning to ride at 18. Now please stop bothering me and go bullshit someone else, open your eyes and see the simple things that tell the whole story.

[chappersR6]

Ha just checked you out you're no policeman just middle aged overwieght and balding. looks like OTHER peoples custom high performance cars are your thing with one of your youtube friends posting videos of street racing.

Observation mate, you've been blocked clearly your just an arsehole who hasn't aclue about what he's talking about.

[maxiflo]

What year R6 is it? I'm planning on buying one but not sure what year... My first bike. What's the year I should be aiming for? When did they make the most significant changed to the model? 2005?

[chappersR6]

This ones an 06, to be completely honest not the best first bike. The suspension is way too stiff for the road and the engine needs to be kaned to keep the speed up. From what I recall all R6 are rev monsters although the 05 and earlier are much better and have better suspension. If I were to chose a first bike I'd go for a GSXR600 or CBR. The road handling of the Suzuki is really confidence inspiring but R6 is better on a track as STD.

PM me if I can help any more.

[Boocho88]

i bet u never late for work on a sonny day =)

[chappersR6]

Work from home. ;-))

[KBWB5]

at 2:11 it doesn't seem like you could know if a car was coming up in that lane..

[chappersR6]

The camera was set one the tank my head was above that level and able to pan left and right so won't give the whole picture. Along that part of the road the hedges are low and visblitly is very good across the road.

[KBWB5]

my bad, was too quick on the trigger. legit riding anyway! wish I can do that one day

[1488skinxhead1]

very nice riding england looks like a fun place 2 ride.

[amos1234567890]

fuck that, my balls are not that big

[qazjem777]

Immediately see that you good driver. Keep ridin'! ;)

[suggett48116]

how it should be done

[speedemon103]

Yea i figured it was the camera but u never know theres so many idiots out there who pass 100mph into a blind corner, im wanting to get into the track myself im planning on getting a R6 or maybe a zx6r idk yet

[chappersR6]

R6 every day of the week the one in the vid was an 06 and I did some trackdays at Brands by dinner I was putting in my best trackday times around the Indy circuit (53s) where as I later bought an 07 ZX6r and spent over 3k (full Ti system WP shock and fork cartriges etc etc) as I was going to race it this year and I was still only as fast as the STD R6 and 1 sec slower on the STD ZX considering the ZX was dynoed at 120hp and the R6 at 114hp it speaks volumes about the R6s handling and engine.

[speedemon103]

Nice bro!!! Some of thoes blind corner passes seemed dangerous, which maybe it was just the way the camera was positioned so i couldnt see

[chappersR6]

you're right the camera was positioned lower than my head and I was able to look over and across. I would never never overtake when the corner was blind, the key to staying alive is observation and risk management I've stopped riding on the roads now as it is IMO no longer safe to take any chances at all and I wasn't prepared to compromise. MX only now cheapest form of riding for me as I now have 3 young sons that I'm teaching to ride MX so trackdays are out financially.

[RossiTheDoctorR1]

Awesome Riding Man, You got style , where in the UK is this?

[chappersR6]

Coastal Sussex/ Kent area

[eraserkk7]

Nice Bike, Nice Roads, Nice Weather... Deathwish Riding though :-)

[chappersR6]

Only if you don't know what you are doing.

[eraserkk7]

we live only once... we die only once, would just hate to know that a really nice bike gets smashed :D lol anyway peace out and take care lad

[chappersR6]

Lad? you don't have a clue.

F**k peace ;-) lol

[MonoTon82]

nice, with double-clutch :)

[juviekid]

good ol engine sounds

[Abensberg]

well youre a lucky rider....

would be more carefull

[MOK109]

u make me wanna give up 4 wheels!

[jamiewmarch]

you can ride thats for sure!!!! wicked vid

[gsakvinta]

sorry but you are an idiot... you are riging like on circuit!

[word106]

real cool video...im thinking about getting an r6...how bad are these going over bumbs or pot holes...do you lose control??

[chappersR6]

They are stiff and on bumpy B roads it can be an pain but no you don't lose control if you ride within your and the bikes limits.

Setting the sag right and fitting the correct springs for your weight goes a long way. I love the 06 on R6 B*llox to what the mags say. If I buy another road bike it will be an R6 although as of march I've given up riding on the road too dangerous and I can't safley ride how I like anymore so only MX and trackdays for me now.

[shad1954]

Clairvoyant as well..... you really got it all mate.

[chappersR6]

Glad you realise. shouldn't you be watching videos of Peados playing rock music. ;-)

[shad1954]

You're still alive then .... your riding and observational skills and brain must be in full working order ... my apologies.

[chappersR6]

Yep more alive  than you'll ever be.

[jimajim]

hope u remain like this, this thing ur doing seems dangerous and ur safety might depent on others driving :S

[shad1954]

Insanity at that time of the day. Maybe at dawn then go nuts - (no cars). overtaking on blind bends....just for the camera - great. Yeah I'll watch another vid - ride like that in traffic like that and your movie career will be over sooner rather than later. Go to a race track mate!

[chappersR6]

What time of day was it.

You have no idea what I can or can't see.

The vid was over 2 years ago IE ancient history you will see I have trackday videos too if you care to use your brain if that is possible.

I wouldn't judge other peoples riding and observation skills using your's as a bench mark. ;-)

[utubefailed]

you should change the title to nicky hayden on drugs lol

[jelliman3765]

pure quality. love my r6 too.

[PAIGExRx]

Thats good riding there mate. Your crazy. Its good to see that an english man can ride on the B roads. Your a good rider, and reading the comments, I can see why. You was a racer. I can go on you know haha. Your bike sounds brilliant, goes like the clappers and what year is it? If you want to see crazy riding, I just seen a quality vid. Motorcycle Madness - Type that in youtube. He is crazy hahaa. Anyway good riding pal.

[810Z]

dude back the shift light off 500 rpm, other than that your riding reminds me of my riding style saying that ive got a broken shoulder at the moment from the last fall.....lol

keep safe

[rrrohan2288]

1:00 looks life fun s bend :)

is it just me or he seems to change down to quickly and not use the brakes enough

[peleserbia]

0:21 Very dangerous move mate.

[tattootiadog]

nice one man ... keep it up

[BGR6pride]

Can't believe an old scab such as your self can ride as nicely as you did right there. Other than the tormenting relines that I cringed upon hearing, you dun good man.

Keep up the vids!

[chappersR6]

Yea they were embarssing only excuse I can offer is that it was the first ride of the year and I was rusty.

[georgepowazka]

man, its cool to watch your vid but i can clearly tell you are a fresh driver, not really knowing the consequences - im sure uve seen ghostriders movies - he doesnt risk 50% of what you do and he does 100000000% better crazy stuff than you. No offence man, only a bit too dumb, no so much skill.

[chappersR6]

Sorry wrong on all counts been riding for over 30yrs (I'm 47 now was 45 at the time of the vid) and raced up till 1998. Although I will admit it was the first ride of the year so a bit rusty hence hitting the redline a couple of tmes.

As for Gostrider do me a favour will you I have no interest in him and was just doing my thing.

[JayBeezay]

Owned.

[Maxmaj1q]

yup... pretty much

[paneksshops]

god damn! you just pass over the end of your live !! ,you can't drive like that ,you want go to the sky very quick??

[nitroXboy]

get a zzr 1100 funking wicked bike

[ledgendsrus]

fucking caravans!!!!!!!!!!

shift you slow ass pricks

save up , go to a hotel or spend £20,000 on a holiday home in france, i guarantee itll be better than a wet weekend in a field!!!!!!!

[ramrodd]

you drive like the majority of moron bikers. dont be surprised when you wake up dead

[chappersR6]

Moses hit the nail on the head when he coined the phrase "Go forth and multiply."

[jeenyus720]

carfull man theres some big trucks on that road. lol

[arrowheadrs]

nice! wish i was you =] Gotta wait till im 17 (16 now) to get a zxr-400 restricted to 33bph then wait 2 years for a R6 =D

[MUSTANGFREAK96]

Lucky dude. I'm fifteen and my parents won't let me get a bike untill i move out.

[arrowheadrs]

yeah my dad dosnt know i have a bike lmao. he lives in manchester tho :). And i said to my mum if i dont get a bike i wont go college and will join the army :D

[petko17]

its not as easy as it looks, to be confident enough and smart enought to know what you doing take years of riding. DOnt get me wrong everybody with 4 months experience can go like this, but mayby once, twice, mayby few bends, than sticky end. To actually survive this from day to day, you have to by damn good, damn brave and have bit of a damn luck for another drivers not to pull in front of you, hit the rabbit etc. Be happy that you are fifteen and enjoy yourself with girls, bikes will wait

[MUSTANGFREAK96]

Ya thanks dude. I'm in high school and gonna be in college soon and they just arent very practical for someone my age. I'm definetely gonna wait but i still love them.

[DirtridinElCamino]

ur drivin on the rong side of the road :p
