zx10r usage...
« on: September 26, 2012, 09:39:13 PM »

Just thinking about how many times i have ridden the 10 this year. Its under 10 im sure of it. Used to ride it 2-3 times a week before my little boy was born.

Not sure if its lack of time or fear of injury why i dont ride it so much. Soon as my lid goes on my "mid week potter" turns into the opposite of a potter  :dontknow:

Even knowing how much i use it i dont think i could sell it...... :cry:

Anyone else use theirs less than me? make me feel better!!

I've been on mine about a dozen times. Some of those were just blasts to and from my GF's, one was to escort my mates funeral procession. I hate this countries weather, can't wait to leave and sell my piece of england to the highest bidding immigrant so I can ride more.

D'ya think the 2 might possibly be related?  [rofl]
Just turn the dial down a notch and enjoy the ride...

Saying that I use mine in all weathers inc commuting so I come from a just get on with it point of view. Spinning the rear up all time at around the ton over standing water on gentle sweepers focuses my mind and slows me down a bit. It'd be good for you fella  :-P

I've washed mine more than ridden it! Spent more on bike care products than fuel in the tank! It's been a crappy old year for old tin ribs that's for sure. I've used mine more for commuting cos it's been a case of grab the weather while you can.

Bollocks to wet weather riding. That's what cars are for.

I've done 3 trackdays as well, 2 were complete wash outs, the other was called off by the 2nd session because a bike broke an oil line and laid down a river from turn 2 to the final turn in Mondello.  :boxing:

So in total I've done about 10 laps in 3 trackdays, was a shit year.
