by **EdFairmontGhia** » June 22nd, 2011, 9:41 pm

I've been trawling through the threads and noticed a few of us are getting road bikes these days. I was wondeirng how many road bike users are on here and if anyone would be keen to set up a ride when the weather is good.
i'm currently on a 04 R6 for mainly weekend use

I don't own a road bike but i do ride a fair few :grin:

, I'm a bike mechanic. Currently working on euro stuff.. Ducati's, Aprilia, MV Agusta etc.

R6' are an awesome bike, i'd get something similar if i ever stop wasting money on cars lol. Can't beat the jap bikes! Just gotta be careful on the roads and not get squashed. 8-)

I ride dirt bikes, keen to do a bit of road riding when I can though. Went to get my license the other day, the bloke didnt turn up, then wouldnt answer his phone :evil:

Dads got a harley, epic cruise bike. Ive got an XT500 im going to put some road wheels & gear on, should be good. Mainly just so I dont have to take the EB everywhere!

I have a road bike and would be interested in a cruise, but nothing too windy !

looks like we might have to just bring the bikes along to the normal cruises... I'd be tempted with some of the day cruises :drinks2:

Looks like an awesome machine! I can't seem to see a turbo or procharger hanging off the side tho?!

There would be a fair few dirt bike users on here i'd imagine?

Nah no turbo on this one.
it is over 2100 CC, so when each cylinder is over 1000CC in size you don't really need one !
