Is this forum for serious riders?



What really is the definition of the term 'serious rider'? Is it really someone who probably doesn't ride if it's alittle too cold, or maybe a chance of rain but CLAIMS to do 170mph leaned over on the street? Or is it a guy (or gal) who rides 5,000, 10,000 or more miles per year? What is the definition then?

I think I'm a serious rider. For one, I ride, so that makes me a rider. And for two, I'm serious that when I ride I seriously don't want to crash. So in turn I'm a serious rider on one of those slow green 10r's.

(lol) loosen up 238 (lol)

*reeeeeelll*

*spplash*

Get real, folks. I've seen those pics before of those toys. So the guy pictured is his friend, the OB/GYN?

Riiiiiight.
{/Dr. Evil - finger on chin}

I'll bet Zhooligan would challenge 238 to a dual.

Hmmmm....maybe I will.

I'll be yo huckleberrah.

Okay, 238. Where do you live? I challenge you to a race on the track. I have a 600cc supersport legal bike. What ya got that's comparable?

{slap in the face with a glove}

Oooooh. This is FUN!

I ride a 12, and I ride hard. Yes, I run most of the time when I see the blues go on. I'm looking to hang where I don't have a cop flaming me in every post, and I don't want to deal with punk kids that have never even ridden a bike before. And worse, i don't want to post an upcoming ride only to have some cop set us all up for getting busted when we're out in the middle of nowhere bothering no one else.

So right up front, what's this place like? If it's loaded
cops and punks, I'll pass...

Any comments???


...so jere, right up front I can tell you (in case you weren't aware) that when you run from the cops, and depending on the circumstances and how the pursuit unfolds ie. running stop signs, red lights, endangering the general public all in the name of evading capture, in most states its a FELONY (called felony evading)...

...so...you've participating in feloneous acts of speed and evading and you haven't been caught (yet)...bear in mind, however, that even though you haven't been caught, if and when the cops have sufficient evidence against you, there is a thing we call a 'notify warrant', that is, a judge approves and issues a warrant out for your arrest...days or even months later...its called building a case against you...hell, the cops may even seize and impound your very expensive speed machines as evidence...

...so don't think that this cop is flaming you...just trying to educate and hopefully save some heart-ache for you or those that may be seriously injured or killed somewhere down the road because someone was doing something feloneous and was trying their damnedest to evade lawful apprehension...

...any comments?

Hard core street racing, drag and places like Deal's Gap... that's what I live
for


SWEET...its DOM!!!!!!!!

Hardcore man....you fuckin rock! You should meet ranger!

170mph with your knee down....thats fuckin badass man...I only know of one other person on this planet who can do that on the street....and he was talkin out his ass on the internet too


I hate to burst your bubble, but there are 4-5 riders that
all met at the Black Hills rally about a month ago...and
they all rode like that, not just me... so sorry, I'm not
the only one that rides like that...they are from the
ZX12R.org forum... They are Vinnie, 1slomofo, and Redline,
all real nice guys, and awesome riders...



Jere these guys I rode with at the gap from this forum are about as hard core as riders as one can get without being snuffed out by a greasy spot on a 120 mph sweeper, You wont find anybody that rides as hard, I don't care for some of the trash talk, but thats my preference, I would put about 5-6 of these riders up against anybody from anywhere.

And some of em ride like the guys you mentioned above,

Jere when I head out in full leathers and with race tires on I play nice in crowded areas, But out on the open road its WFO,

Jere there was one member from .org that was as serious about ZX12Rs as these guys and its GreenMamba, He has skills and knowledge as well about setup and to get the most outta the 12.

This is the forum for the most serious 12R riders,

Generally not much "my dicks bigger than yours" stuff gos on.

I wasn't going to say anything but since you brought it up...
Mine is rather large.

And I keep my balls to the wall. And I only hang with guys who put their balls on the wall. We are wall-ballers. If you don't put your balls on the wall, well then..you can't ride in my car. You little dick no wall ball motherfuckers!

10 extra points if you actually say "balls to the wall" in any random conversation with an actual person all this weekend.
"Yes, Reverend, fine sermon. Balls to the wall! Motherfucker!"
Or something.

Damn, boring...??? Tell me when was the last time you
got to run for miles on end through high speed sweepers
at 160-170 with your knee down...then tuck in and sit
side by side with 8 other 12s for miles of flat out
riding, trying to edge out the other bikes... It doesn't
get any better than that... you would have loved
the Montana/Wyoming roads we ran. We some in Arizona
like that as well... I just can't find anyone around here
to ride that hard.



Look me up some time there "Fella".....

You could join us for a Payson run

wow, this is the best thread I have read so far.......

even doug meyer busted him out.........

I think I will only say this, and stay out of it...........

As far as some of us go, MM, me , and some others, Bergie, Karl, etc..., I do not think anyone is on a dragstrip as much....

Some guys ride very hard in the twisties, and god knows VH spends enough time trying to get an 1/8 of a hp.........


I have not been here a long long time, as I had a 600 when the 12 came out........, but, I have raced for quite some time, rode longer,



Serious is a relative term, but when any of the folks I mentioned above speak(type), we all have a lot of knowledge.......,

Hell, Rob Muzzy comes here, Doug Meyer is on here all the time.

But hey, we are not serious...........

Mike was just playin when he asked you to race...........

We dont do that stuff....., high 8s in the 1/4 and 5.70s in the 1/8 is way too serous for us losers........

I believe that you ride how ever you want to ride, if you want to run, run. But one day runnning isnt going to be worth it when you kill someone and if you have a family maybe even leave them widowed. its cool and all. some people have something to run from and something to hide, but that also hurts the other riders that choose not run, so what happens when you run, it can hurt and kill others and maybe even yourself, but at the same time it causes law enforcement officers to look at all bikers differently. Not all but alot of officers do stereo type. So i guess in a sense we are all fucked. Thier is a time and place for ever thing, good luck.

Jere, What's up with this thread ?? I met you a few years back down here in Boynton Beach at a cruise night, you had that sick big block "go cart" and I was in my "sleeper" big block vega wagon. So I know your not full of sh!t about the stuff you build. We talked for a while and I think we had both just got our ZX9R's.....You seemed cool enough at the time, but dude you need to back off some. There are a lot of smart people on this site that will help you anyway they can. You may not agree with their advice but they usually tell you like it is.....Why don't you share some of your info. For example: post some pics of that trick looking stubby exhaust on your 12 .......
It looks like you found someone to ride with....psycho invited you on a Payson run !!
One thing kinda bothers me .... You said you use to race Moroso ?? How can you think road racing is boring ?????? What were your lap times ??? I'll run out there at Sportbike tracktime events on my 636 whenever I can and I'm wrung out after six 20 minute sessions. I'm not fast but I'm not that slow either. I try and go to a road racing school once a year to pick up some pointers and some more speed. I don't get how you think it's boring. You need to find yourself some local track days......you may find your not all that fast............

ride your ride, anyone that gets goated into riding anything but what they are comfortab le with is an idiot.....plain and simple....if you let ego get the best of you on a bike like the ZX12 because you are listening to some dipshit talk trash, then you get what you deserved....anyone that doesnt show these bikes respect is STOOOPID ! ! !!
