No RS4, but I do have a K6 GSXR750, titanium Arrow, PCIII, BMC, braided lines .... black of course ;)

Can't wait to use it again, haven't been on it since about October :(

The old 'fizzy 50'........ nice 1 mate, an absolute classic and very hard to find a good one.
My first bike was a fizzy (was used as a "not to good" field bike!!!!). Wish I still had the bugger - a good one, as said, is hard to come by.

So Markymark, seems that a lot of RS4 owners (on the forum anyway) also get their kicks from two wheels - and a few have some nice 2 wheeled toys too play with.

Nice Repsol colours - I aways thought that was the best race rep colours ever (well apart from my Skoal Bandit RG 500 in 1988!)
Thanks for eveyone who replied to the post - I guessed there would be a fair few bikers on here
Maybe in the summer any guys from the south could have a little bike meet up?

You lot are a bunch speed demons. I take my 2 wheelin' with a dash of nostalgia. Safer that way. As I've always said about motorcylces, I prefer to ride a slow bike fast than ride a fast bike slow. The out of the box performance availble now makes no sense on public roadways.

My little stable includes a '74 Ducati 750 Sport, a '78 900SS, an '86 NS400R and a '93 Superlight. My "touring" bike is a '98 900SS FE (north american so it's still carburated.)

As long as it's not restricted to RS4 owners or owners of the nice exotica that's been listed (oh and the gsxr's :lol: ) then I reckon there could be a good turn out.

I put a similar thread on tyresmoke.net in the "Kneesliders" sub-forum and found 32 riders. Pretty good for a car forum :D

oh I'm on a CBR600 (my excuse if I've only been riding two years and I have to commute in all weathers :wink:) .... anyone want to come to Portugal (Park Algar in May)? The dates have just shifted to 29-31st and some people can't make it so there's some flights available to transfer into others names.

I did it last year and have been drawn back. It's an awesome track!
