A good friend of mine pioneers one of those on the drag strips and top speed flyer meets .


At the start of the month he went 211mph, Worlds fastest for that bike .

He loves them and enjoys inflicting damage on tha latest high tec machinery , his father is in his 70 's , rides a tuned ZX12 R and still trounces all comers at Santa Pod or on the flyers

Do you have any pics of the 900 ?
The Z1 , was probably one of the first true hyper speed bikes , although not turboed it was amazing to have such power with such crap handling

Back from a VERY wet, hailstoney, mud bath at Brands Hatch today and the BSB ..... cracking stuff but a shame both races ended on a red flag
Have now had a full and rigorous testing of the Rukka gear and can officially pronounce it WATERPROOF!!!

We were all supporting Haslam but sadly after the first race it would have taken Kiyonari hitting the kitty litter for him to win the championship .... but he certainly proved a point by the lead he built up in the second race!
Hopkins was there on the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP bike (eventually after the hailstones had cleared and Noah and the Ark had left ) .... sounded bloody fantastic going round Brands even tho he was tippytoeing around to start with

All in all a really good day and I'm glad I wasn't a fair-weather girly after all. That said, it was a wee bit motocross-like getting out of the carpark this evening and I now have to clean most of the good dirty brown muck of Kent off the bike

I think I'll get it....can't wear my leathers all the time.
I think they've got a 5yr guarantee on them too. Not sure what that covers exactly though.

I think it may even be longer than that if my poor old memory serves me well. I got mine from Infinity Motorcycles in High Holborn and they were telling me how Rukka do a new for old if you get any problems. I think it covers more or less everything barring Monte making mincemeat of it with his claws!
I think this is one of those cases where you really do get what you paid for
