Just a bit of fun to see which age group is attracted to the GTR/C14.
Only one vote per person, so for the older generation and I mean the two members who live up near The Lakes, (they know who they are), if you can't remember, ask someone before voting.
:mfr_lol:
Some of them are so old they're ghosts

:shocked: Do you not have the GTR anymore, you've never mentioned that before. :mfr_lol: How about the age you were when you had the GTR unless you've already voted.

Steve, I think Chris changed the GTR for his current machine because he was getting too old for the GTR, and needed something more.....sedate :mfr_lol:

Dear TW (aka LW in a forma life) :mfr_lol:
I've just put my tick in the box and after an in-depth analysis of the results so far have realised the marketing potential of that information....................such as:-
1 Group Saga Insurance purchase
2 Group purchase of those caravan mover devices to enable the group to move the bikes backwards without risk of cardiac arrest
3 To save embarrassment and expense with those minor low speed and stationary instability moments (you all know what I mean) the Group purchase of 17" solid rubber square section fork lift tyres. These are puncture proof and being of square (flat to the floor) profile would eliminate the need by some to remove the chicken rings from the tyres so ensuring a reduction in insurance clams.............leading to a reduction in the cost of item 1
:listencarefully:
Its Friday and I'm off to ride my bike to Norwich under the pretence that it is a necessary business trip

No, not for good. Will be terribly emotional for me, especially if drinking. Charlie knows. I'll probably start crying and stay that the way the whole time. It's all I can do to control myself when I watch the British television shows over here.
If things would have been different and my dad hadn't passed away in 1969, I feel we might have been living there after he retired from the AF. He loved England as did we all.
You will always be welcome in Blighty Jim, be it for a long time or only short :yes:
In the meantime we'll just have to put up with you on here :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
Yes, there is that of course.
You sound like a very interesting man Jim, (as do many on her to be honest) and I for one would like to meet you, you must make sure we all know when you are in Blighty.
Oh, I think you'll know when I arrive...

I'm 36, when I retired in the racing game it wasn't long before I was desperate to get back on the road. I purchased the GTR and never looked back. Shortly after I rode her through Bosnia to Debrovnik and back home via the usual spots in Italy and Austria etc, the bike no mater what year and speck is epic, I thought I would struggle to find a good bike after having ridden some of the best race machinery ever made.....I love my bike!
So cummon timmyd, hows about some detail of your racing career....maybe some pics too :clap:

Hi there,
I've just bought a GTR after doing Dubrovnik on a naked Cagiva Raptor this year. Thought it would be a bit easier without the chain and the wind blast through Germany and Austria.
What did you use to race?
