please grampha stay away from the bike or u gonna hurt your self ..with that age?!!what u need is a 48 cc moped .lmfao

@yoeEVO9MR - Do I read jealousy? I bet that "grampha" as you rudely put it could whip you in any 2 or 4 wheeled vehicle you care to mention, so before you give opinions based on no knowledge, perrhaps you should engage brain. Richard raced motorcross, and circuit cars successfully for many years, and even today is always at the front of the fast group at track days. By the way look at the FQ320 in the back ground. I guess I am too old to have that car too, by your reckoning?

[mustdriveslower]

It has some track improvements now, new suspension inserts to make it handle better, race exhausts and remap, and the biggest aid is an aftermarket slipper clutch (sigma) as the engine has so much braking effect it becomes unstable on downshifts under "race" braking efforts..... "Your a better man than I am Gungadin!"

c'hai un culo de merda

[mustdriveslower]

I guess you haven't got one then, and are just a bit jealous?

[acidangelster]

These old "ex racers" are real fukin bad asses.....dont ever make the mistake of laughing at them just cause they "appear" to be over the hill.

My dad s an ex rally rider and the bugger s still got it in him.And I m damn proud of that.

[mustdriveslower]

He is an ex racer, and would better you any day. I have tried to keep up with him around most circuits in the UK and Spain and he is consistently in the top three. Forget the nurses; your th eone that woul dneed them if you tried to keep up!

[krazy4baja]

Awesome!, I hope when I'm his age I'll still be riding and a bike like that too!

[emtildeath]

@MetalSnakesUK I could afford to by the bike cash if I wanted ( oler gentleman ) what I could afford though is the insurance and the running costs.

[emtildeath]

@yoeEVO9MR Kevin Shwantz ( 41yrs old ), Randy Mamola (51 yrs old ) Both of these riders are old interms of bike racing, but at the end of last years Moto GP season when various press get to ride the Moto GP bikes, thesse two were posting times that would see them on the third row of a race., So no they don't lose their skills. Also look at Jackie Stewart ( Formula 1 ) 99% of drivers go to him for various lessons. Think before you speak next time.

[yoeEVO9MR]
