 |
|
Ok, I'll kick off the NSR400 gallery with the bike that spawned my little collection when I decided it was about time I had a few of the bikes I couldn't afford first time round . . . how many of us have been in that position?!
As those who know me will testify - I'm not bad at buying the bikes, but I'm terrible at finding time to ride them!  Maybe 2007 will be THE year when Diff'rent Strokers organises something beyond a stand at a static show? Oh jeez, what am I saying?!?!?!

Oh, here we go... 
We manage to get 5 bikes in one place without too much trouble, so now you want to go mad. 
What did you have in mind ? You never ride any of your bikes anyway ! 
I think I can use my contacts to book Suzuka full GP circuit for a weekend if that's any use ?  |

Yeah sorry - dunno what the hell I was thinking of!  My calendar for next year is almost full already so God knows when this great new DS event was going to actually happen! Maybe we can hijack, I mean "attend", someone elses event in '07??? 
As for Suzuka . . . . hmmm, yeah! And we could pick up a few gag bikes when we're over there!

Ashbourne RD 07 is the place to be in 2007
Best stroker rally in the uk if not the world 
I've been for the last 4 years .... camping and all ..... its well worth it .... not to be missed

Yeah, but you get the colonial RD types there that don't like NS400s or anything else non Yamaha. Inferiority complex or something like that methinks.

Looks bloody good Darin. You've obviously spent a long time cleaning it. Was it that good when you bought it? Puts even mine to shame. I'm too lazy to clean away the brake dust, chain lube etc. Best change that non original rear brake disc though.

Can't quite afford all the bikes I want, but still want them
But then again, I couldn't afford them when I was 16 either
Not sure 'which' bikes I really want in my collection yet but deffo all strokers.

Hi Alistair,
Just seen your post! Yep, I'm pleased with it - and all thanks to you . . . from how long ago??! Amazing (read: frightening) where one innocent email can lead!!! What does your fleet look like now?? Is it still all Honda??

What a load of Bol*ox
It takes two to talk
We get it at Shardlow ..... Someone turns up on a stroker ... walks around ... gets back on bike after 10 minuites .... posts on a forum ''' Shardlow Wank**rs are Clicky .... they don't even talk .... 
They get lots of diffrent strokers at Ashbourne
A strokers a stroker .... Beer's ... Beer
Its a fantastic event .....
Never heared anyone kicking another make .... infact theres always plenty of gives a go on it then and you can have a go on this to compare
Few pictures to show that not just Air Cooled RD's turn up ...
Fred.

Ouch - now that's a tad harsh for a tongue in cheek comment. That's my HRC NS400 you've got pictured at Ashbourne so you've got the evidence I've been . Ashbourne is a good day out but you cannot deny that there are some very odd people on the RD scene. Just one look at the RD forum will tell you that - JMW, Merde350 et al. There's plenty on there that hate anything non RD although it has to be said there are also some more enlightened souls like yourself.
Might even go again this year as I'm only over the hill away. Always say I'll go but never make it. See you there?

Hi Darin
See the sig  Eventually gone diesel with the current 'Blade. Bloody awesome bike but I still get loads of fun from the NS. Currently restoring an MTX80R scrambler as a reminder of my first bike.
One day we'll meet up. Ashbourne?

Yes Alastair there are some odd people in the RD world ... but arn't there the same in life full stop
Perhaps I was a bit fast off the mark in my reply .... just don't want anyone not giving Ashbourne a chance .... it is a Great Weekend ... some could have read your comments and took them the wrong way .. like me
I'll prob see you there if you come ... I've offered my 500 or R1-Z to Xavier Blanc ( 350 LC Web Master ) if he gets his arse over from France
Fred.

I was there last year, on a Yamaha as well. It was the only 3MA there (I think). It let me down a bit on the rideout (fouled plugs) so this year I think I'll add a splash of Kawasaki to the proceedings instead... some people will be interested and some will no doubt hate it but I don't give a toss, it's still a stroker !
