Guys this is just a reminder to everyone if u must ride make sure you got your riding gear, one of my friends just had a nasty fall and it wasnt a pretty sight

A word should be enough for the wise!!

Weekend ride in Ibadan

Those bikes are all 250s. right?

Thought I would have to join in.

I have 22 bikes, all different styles.



Picture above is my KTM 525 EXC Enduro, single cylinder 55 hp good fun for the countyside. (KTM are made in Austria, they build some fantastic machines)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This is my KTM lc4 620 I will be traveling from the UK to Ghana and Niger later in the year. (visas etc allowing)

The trip will take around 12 weeks of all goes to plan .

who else is there!! My reliable baby:

Hello,

@ zorro,

Hi, saw your post

would like to get my first bike something between 250 and 400 cc,

have under just 400k to spend and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

I live in Calabar and traveling to see the bike in question will not be a problem.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes.

@ Zorro,

This Pic is somewhere in New Bodija/ Secretariat area or Oluyole? I just thot the Pics look familiar. I lived in New Bodija before during NYSC and B4 I came to Florida.
My Mechanic used to Be close to U.I his name is Oga Ajai.

Guy Ride Safe.

Tope.

@ Topefl
Actually the first two pictures were taken in Jericho the 3rd in U.i on Idia road and the last picture was taken at the petrol station just outside U.i .
Oga Ajai is still around and fixes our bikes sometimes but we don't use him as often as before cos there is a younger mechanic we use around ring road

@ busaboy
You should be able toget a really clean 400cc for about 300,000 to 350,000 of course the price also varies according to the year, let me make some enquiries and see how I can help you

@ Zorro,

I forgot about Jericho. Close to Forestry Research Institute. Thats cool. I wish there were biker clubs when i was in Ibadan. I used to ride once a while with a guy that makes carvings (Art Work) in Sabo close to the barracs his name is Ighodalo. Had a bike Oga Ajai could not fix for a year. I had to come back to Florida and called my Dad to go tow my shit from his shop.

Guy send me your email so we can share a few ideas, I am thinking of visiting Nigeria and possibly bringing a hayabusa. my email is   tip2datop@yahoo.com

Safe.

@zorro,

I like your emphasis on very clean because i do not want maintainance problems.


If you have any info soon, hit me up or text me on 08060971570.

Thanks and Best Wishes.

Hey,

I have alwayz loved bikes and always wanted to own one, I finally got a 2000 Yamaha YZF-R6 (600cc). Some lovely baby I got here, I call her RASTA. One problem though, I am just learning to ride, and I wld sure appreciate some advice, I live in lekki.

Holla!

OHHHH!!!!

You need to be VERY careful. What you have is like trying to learn how to juggle balls using running chainsaws. Do you have gear!!! If not the dont even think of riding. The minimum is a helmet and that is a must.

Check out www.metallichorses.com for gear

Talk to the guys in pitlane (advert on metallic's website), Mike and Jide. I am sure they'll be able to give you some pointers. But No helmet no ride.

You can also come over to Ikeja and I will be glad to help you get started

tanx for the advice sir. I do appreciate, but I am already riding like the GHOST RIDER! call it flair! I am checking the website out and planning on buying some gear by the end of today, Tanx bro.

I hope you understand that with riding it is not a matter of IF I crash but WHEN I crash

Also I pray that as you ride like Ghost Rider, you don't become a ghost very soon.

A friend of mine who has been riding for quite a while just crashed his 2 month old HAYABUSA yesterday into CHEVRON roundabout. He is very experienced and had an R1 before this bike (which he bought for close to 3M). Things happen very quickly on a bike and if you think you have mastered it, then thats the time to stop riding. Take care o!!

on a bite or bike

LOL

NO WORRIES
