I Thought I'd Never See The Day

[Kujotk]

hi guys,

this is impressive - an r35gtr with an exhaust & retune is quicker than a current spec Gsxr1000.

I used to race bikes & I can see that the rider knows how to ride so he is really pushing his bike:

I find this incredible as the bike has 1:1 power to weight ratio - all the more kudo's to the mighty r35gtr!!!

Enjoy

Why did you PM me about this thread? Who are you and why did you think I would care???

Please don't spam me crap again....

Take it easy geez...what is this forum coming to???

Further to this, the reason I emailed u is because it seemed fitting knowing that u refer to racing bikes in another thread.

Anyway, this is quite sad but I will apologise and makes me think twice before I pm anyone for that matter.

Rather than display your feelings on a public thread - u should have responded via email but we are not all the same.

So i dont often comment in threads like this, but FYI...

Last SAU QLD drag day at willowbank near Brisbane I took out my 08 R1 and we paired it against a modified S3 R35...

From the launch the GTR grabbed a good 3 car lengths by the time id fully released the clutch, not supprising considering launch control etc...

I pulled in the GTR rapidly once we had past 100kph and onward to 200kph he was well and truely behind...

I ran 10.17

He ran 10.90

and i hit a bird just near the finish line, which destroyed my helmet... had to wait for my wife to come with my spare so i could ride home...

at the end of the day it would take quite a few $$$ worth of mods to take down a stock litre bike...

apply 20% of that amount of money spent to the litre bike and you wont stand a chance in a straight line...

Hitting a bird could have been dangerous...did u smash your visor?

Thanks for sharing your run on here, the great thing about bikes is that it is cheap fun and to mechanically break or damage a bike is next to impossible, whereas the headaches associated with a modified car can become unreliable and expensive.

On the flip side, u can easily break yourself on a bike which is why i stopped riding a few yrs BUT ive kept running gear just in case

I saw it incoming, knew we were going to hit and i just tucked my head right in...

It was a small minor bird, but i hit it at about 140mph so it was like getting hit in the helmet with a hammer...

I tucked right in looking at the fuel cap and gritted my teeth... BANG... cracked the top of the helmet wide open, huge split in the outter casing and I dont mind saying it hurt quite a bit actually... I had a headache about 20 minutes after the accident... Lucky to keep it up right, it was a bigger hit than most would expect...

That sounds like a very close call.

I knew of u rider about 10yrs that was speeding on an open road and actually Rode thru the stomach of a cow...I know it sounds disgusting but the poor rider slipped into a coma after this. The cow was crossing the road at the time hence the near fatal collision.

Just be very careful on your bike as anything can happen in a split second and almost no room for error.
