April 22nd drive back to uni

[coombsie66]

It was time as usual to make my treck back to uni, from somerset in the south west of england to london and my uni. 1stly as i came home lacking a bike (after it was stolen) last term, and now have a bike, fitting this into my car, with everything i brought back was a bit of a task!!
(sorry for picci quality they r all taken wiv my camera phone!)

Car loaded up (with new hella front indicators):

So i set off on the trip up, making good progress, then what do i spy coming quick in my rear view mirror!?!?

So, as i was in a line of traffic following a passing lorry, i let him past to have a look, he gave me a wave, and saw i was interested!

So then when the others pull over, he fuckin drops it! And pissed away! Next thing im doin 110:

and he's still disapearing! I mean it was an old guy in it, wiv roof down, i wasnt expecting him to do that!!!!
Ive got a short vid from my phone of him caning it away from me like im standing still, but its again from my phone, pretty shitty quality and in 3GP format + i cant host it.

Anyway, he pulled off to somwhere else, then on the M3 i come across an NSX!

He went up the outside at a roundabout and lost me, but he was ragging it aswell!!

Cheers

Nice :) Maybe he was on his way home from his Mistress house - and was in a good mood since he just shagged 'er - and has to face another week holed up with the old hag wife in a Chelsea Townhouse... :P

[gis]

very nice pics and some very nice cars,very rare to see an NSX here as u will know coombsie

thanks for sharing with us :D

[coombsie66]

RC45: lol, most probable!

[TT]

Dang, you badly need a "proper" digi-camera for such days :D

Nice sightings!!!!

[spd]

what phone ur using, you got good pictures there. I thought there are many speed cameras at London, how come you could still able to drive that fast?

[coombsie66]

Its a nokia 6600, and yes there are lots of speed cameras in london, but the bit where i am goin quick is on the A303 which is a main road away from london. Plus i have driven this route many times, and know where the speed cameras are, its the bloody mobile camera units and patrol cars that are a little more trickey to spot!!!

[jon_s]

NOw you have your bike in London, fancy a play on Sunday lol I am trying to build up my Klien to have a laugh on. Should be interesting, as I have no rear wheel at the moment

[coombsie66]

Unfortunately im a bit busy 4 the next few weeks as i have exams in 3 weeks! Plus, straight after fitting my easton ea30's thismornin i went and fucked my lower back trying to bunnyhop as high as i could!!!!!! That coupled wiv loading and unloading me car means im in a little but of discomfort at the moment!!
But during june i will have finished me exams, so will be well up 4 a play! Where u ride close to london?

[jon_s]

A3/M25 junction is where we go mostly. It is called Wisley Woods. I predict a trip to the hospital while I am on the Klien!

[coombsie66]

LOL, yeah. I cant believe how light it is to chuck about! I aint jumped it jet, mostly a bit of trick riding, i dont trust the wheelset too much 4 jumping :?

[jon_s]

Get some pics up of the new addition! Believe it or not, the bike is really good for some trials moves. Back hopping is really easy once you find its balance point. Try getting in the 180 hops. I hope you have some good locks!

Oh, it also rocks on the road. The number of drivers I have surprised by keeping up with them in London is quite amusing.

[coombsie66]

Yeah, it does back hop nicely, and stoppies and 180 endo flicks r a piece of piss! Its a really nice all round bike.

[SFDMALEX]

I sooooo want to try a bike with disk brakes!!!! How are they?

[coombsie66]

They r fuckin awsome!!!!!! Soo responsive, a world away from anything ive ever ridden b4!
oscar: the fastest ive had out of it is 137 (on the clock, so about 132mph) that was down a large hill, as on the flat it'll be done by about 125mph.
