Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

@TAB ghost riders a legend!

would of loved to see him run isle of mann, there's a video he has a professional rally driver mate in a worked bmw station wagon get up to mischief with him that's next level none given! didn't know was a prince, it adds up though.

Some Dakar type bikes are pretty capable and able to hold highway distances as easily as trails im not sure if thats your reference to adventure bikes @TAB but they are pricey at the top end ;

ultimately going to be restricted by tyres on either surface aye the roadtrails arent designed for pushing hard either way, nothing like a full knobby on trail , some fun on wet tar too but as untrustable as a slick in mud hahaha

Re: Night Shift

yeah got broken collarbone with knobblies in wet @REDLINEZ750 was lucky no one coming otherway.,did had false neutral,changeddown instead of up (der), result, instant 'U' turn, ending off road on opposite side, and slammed into ground.

ahyeah somepeople used to ride motocrossbikes w road tyres in open races(mixed bikes and experience ,for all gradesof riders)

commentators called them 'chook chasers'

Re: Night Shift

@REDLINEZ750 @He's a prince who rides bikes, and you wish you could have seen him race theIsle of Man. Dakar-style adventure bikes are great for both roads and trails, but they are expensive and tire choice is always a limitation

@REDLINEZ750 @Mazarita @plasmo @TAB @red_roses @Glisten @ENKELI

I feel sorry for you. My interests are so opposite you. I like art, flowers, fairies, and sparkles.

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

@PeppyPatti yeah not into fairies etc here thanks. 😁

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

that would be an interesting bike to ride on the roads they were on though wouldn't last long on our fire trails @TAB definitely enjoyed watching it

@TAB
