I have never come across a bike that could leave me behind - LARDASS - 19-11-2005

It’s a genuine confusion.
awesome opportunity to catch up. In fact the rider drew alongside me, turned his head and waved his fist.
I was bemused – even more so when he then ran over the median strip and fell off.(WTF)

CUE PAN for this one I think.
Of course a sterile box on four wheels is gonna handle the tight bumpy stuff and yes, a lot of riders think they are better than they are.

I can remember coming up on an A9X thru the twisty section of the Putty years ago. Goin for all he was worth using all the road, squealing tyres the whole 9 yards. held me up for quite a while, pushed and pushed till he made a mistake ( fluffled a gear change), Up the inside and he didnt see me for tyre smoke. think he tried for a short while to keep up then gave it away. Good rider on a good bike beats like wise in four wheels every time. just look at the two exercises at recent rounds of ASBK 2 Porches worth nearly 6 figures against a bog stock R1. got there arses handed to them on a plate both times. second time by nealy four seconds in two laps.
This guys having himself on. I have never come on a car that could keep up If I didnt want. "No Fear" Just means you aint goin quick enough yet !!!!!

This guy really is the full toss.
I have ridden up the reefton when the wrx club,the porsche car club,the bmw car club and a few other car clubs that i cant remember, and to be honest,i have never had one of them stay with me.I remember this tosser in a porsche with all the numbers all over the side of the thing,thinking to myself,this guy must be a racer or something,but alas,when the pressure was applied ,he turned out to be another reefton snail. .Im sure a good car with a good driver and all that rubber on the road would do a good job,but the cars this guy is talking about??????Give me a break. Phuck its the phantom!

Dont the race cars have quicker lap times at Bathurst than the race bikes ever did ?
How about Eastern Creek anyone know?
I suppose you have to compare apples with apples.

Re: (WTF)(*_*) - TomRux - 19-11-2005
as I said before a $640,000 Porsche had it arse handed to it round Queensland Raceway by a bog stock R1. 3.8 seconds lead after two laps.
Maybe the late cars are doing better than bikes around bathurst but how much of that is due to top speed down conrod ??????

cars and bikes on country roads... - pan - 19-11-2005
I hear what people are saying and agree mostly, though let's not neglect that the guy isn't talking about race tracks. He specifically avoids that issue and talks about winding and sweeping country roads.
There are some sharp corners in Sydney that I absolutely throw the Volvo wagon into, knowing it will slide, counter-steer and accelerate out of (ever so slowly... ). I couldn't do that on the Busa for fear of low-siding, but I have only been riding a bike for about 18 months!
I guess I'll have more of an opinion about cars VS bikes when I can ride as fast as others (say they) can... but for now if I had to get to somewhere fast, whether it was in the city or a rural area I'd still take the bike.
Basically I can't imagine being out-run on roads like he describes by any Lexus!

Some of the new 4WD/4WS/turbo will nail a bike in the real tight stuff but thats about it

Starting to sound like the whos been over 300 kph post.....
I'm confident an aussie built car with a half decent driver would be hard to beat on our crappy winding country roads.
Sure straights would be a prob but we all know how easy it is to ride quick in a straight line.....
