Motorcycle Riders

[cacasplat3]

the R6 is one of my favourite all time bikes............question though.......why the fairing around the tail light black?

[Rocketraz1982]

Hey people not sure if you are interested but i've just knocked up a small website this evening for riders in Trinidad and Tobago. As i couldn't really find much on the web......

It's only a shell at the moment but if i get enough interest it could be fully launched with a week, I have a guy back in the UK that is willing to do product launch info and reviews of new kit, way before it hit's the stores.


It will also have saftey, new rider info, a shop, Motox section and tone's more

I have a domain name ready but i wont finish it if theirs just a passing interest it will need event info update's and rider input etc

check it out at http://www.wix.com/trinigal/NA/
It's a Flash based site if it doesnt load just do a free update

Later

Thanks for the advise. I`ll keep it all in mind.

I`m still interested in link up with someone more experienced and level headed for the ride , there are some areas in traffic that if i were on a bike, i wouldnt know where to go though.
e.g Valpark Traffic lights or after the over pass where south traffic meets east traffic and wrightson road by powergen traffic light.


Btw, i ride the bike like a car - staying in a lane, and roll between traffic at a red light to get to the front . Lame, i know , but i not playing hero

rocketraz "if you build it they will come" i already saving it. also i remember u were planing to open a shop to sell gear and stuff. that still in the works?

[Rocketraz1982]

Yeah i made all the plans for a small retail store this was just before the the world economy went to poo.. All the suppliers now only want to deal with large stores,

Alpinestars said at first i could place small orders no problem, so i started to get my independent dealer pack sorted then 3 months later thay say that they will only let me do a stocking plan.. A Alpinestars stocking plan will cost............ 350.000 TT

The suppliers just don't care anymore for small independent dealer's.. KBC helmets who i had a really good working partnership with sadly closed down in the UK and now have a new distirbutor who are rubbish.. Shoei and Arai's have gone up in price 20-30%..
You should see how many large well established store's have closed in England really sad

So at the mo i would still like to get somthing sorted, the new main problems is the stupidly high shipping price's,

All feedback is good feedback!!!!!!!!

sucks to hear. I'm looking to get into riding after university. I'm off to Middlesbrough for a year. I'm trying to weigh the option between buying some gear while I'm out there or if to do it at home. I remembered you said you were in the biz out there. if your going to be selling gear through the site thats going to be great, at least theres the opportunity for reviews and feedback form people who know the products inside out.This thread is good for advice but with so many things being said all at once its hard sometimes t pick and search for specific info mentioned on previous pages. So far i like the look and design i hope everyone gets on board. Definitely looking forward to the New Riders section.

[Rocketraz1982]

There are always areas like that. Cars who stop close to the line etc. It becomes a matter of choice (come up with ur rationale). Where south merges i prefer between the utmost right and middle lanes. Everybody wants to merge and the furthest left lane doesnt want to get slowed down so they dive for the centre lane. All in all that section till Aranguez lights should be navigated carefully (even more so than normal).

Bikes dont really lend themselves to riding in lane. What are your temps when u ride this style? Its a matter of experience/seat time before u feel comfortable between cars. Eventually you will get there... no rush....
This where following somebody more experienced who will take a pace ur comfortab;e with is good.
As someone mentioned jackass riding is jackass riding. If u feel uncomfortable or see a series of near misses from the person who is more "experienced" alarm bells will go off. Follow those bells and let the person go their way.

Biker dies in mishap
Pinned by van
Monday, June 14th 2010

A mechanical engineering student became the country’s latest road fatality following an early morning accident at Carapichaima.

Suruj Sookdeo, 29, of St John’s Street, Orange Field Road, Carapichaima, died while trying to avoid an oncoming car while driving his motorcycle along the Old Southern Main Road at Carapichaima.

Reports stated that around 12.50 a.m. Sookdeo, a process operator employed at the World GTL plant, was riding his bike when a panel van swerved, knocking him down.

Sookdeo was pinned under the van which rolled over him.

He was rushed to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex at Mt Hope where he died.

Speaking with the Express yesterday, a relative described Sookdeo as a ’respectable child who obeyed both his parents and who was always helpful’.

Investigations are continuing

RIP
One of the most genuine fellas around; a good friend and a helpful man
