LOL, yeah. I had it up to 98 on 95. I rode it to Yemassee, out to 95 south, then off of the Beaufort exit. a 5 mile run. It didnt take long to get it up to 98. I was at 88 comming on to the on ramp.

Really? Deals Gap is a great place to ride...I cant ask him if he's been? Size tire and preference has alot to do with the capabilities as do his abilities to ride wheelies or perform stopies. Great questions to get a feel for his bike and his abilities. Your simply an idiot.

You either have no idea what your asking or you trying to see if I do. With 6 bikes I have been stupid, have wrecked and have mostly riden without safety gear. Have been more of a curb junkie which is why the first thing I look at is someones tire. After doing 180 on my bike just to see how fast it would go I never cared for "How Fast" again. Now with a Dunlop 207 which was a fav of mine at the time I can use all the tire but when talking about a Pilot Sport I could never use the last inch which is a reason I ask his preference and size. We all know Battle Axes which came stock on the CBRs were junk and would slip out, luckily it caught after a about 6 inches. All I was trying to do was learn more about his bike and his knowledge. Anything else brilliant?

Yeah one more thing: chill out. I'm just joking around. None of it was meant to be serious or get your panties in a bunch.



Then again, that does seem to be the trend of this thread...to take everything super serious and get insulted and defensive about everyfuckingthing.

I wish I knew more about bikes, and tires, but not yet. As time goes by, I will know more about them. I do know that I can used all but about 1/2 inch of the tire. It took me a little while to get the confidence in leaning that far. I dont want to push my luck though.

Where did I poke? I never said anything about your rides. No tags in here are mine either. I was just wondering why you are being a crybaby when you instigated it with your thread title. If you put it up for this exact reason, why resort to the name calling?

Me being a crybaby???? I'm sorry that you feel that way. I'm far from a crybaby. I think its funny, yes, funny that some like to trashtalk about things they know nothing about, and I know, it all in fun. Me personally, dont resort to trashtalk much, because to each his own, and everyone is entitled to have whatever car they want, and each car can be built to be unique. I like cars that are unique, and not like others.

Anyways, for those down to earth peeps, thanks for understanding why I like my car so much, and am proud of it.

What is there to "know" about a merkur? Actually...don't answer, because we don't give a shit.

Please raise your hand if you are one of the "down to earth peeps" this guy is talking about? Like I thought....

Don't start a thread like this:

HAI GuYs....A feW mOAR Piks of muh dOOsH WHAT?????


And then cry about the responses you get. Sorry we didn't post up responses like "Oh WOw...what a HOT car! So Fast and Elite. Please have a BaBy wit mE!??"


You and your sPEcIaL KosWoRth car has worn its welcome.

Get MER-LOST!

Wow, We have a winner here folks, Crown this HATER!! All hail king hater!!!!!as it appears with the SN "Mcompact" you probably own a common car, and wish you had something different. No matter what you do to your common compact, someone has already done it, just so you know.....

As for Cosworth, They've certainly proven themselves time and time again, noth only with Ford, but Mercedes, and other top brands, and have DOMINATED every class that that Cosworth was a part of. Its a shame you know nothing of Cosworth, but that why haters are haters; Lack of knowledge, and full of ignorance!!

I think most simply dislike the look of the car.....I could be wrong though....

It does sound good based on the video you posted somewhere.....it sounds much better than it looks. But, in your cars defense, I hate anything with lots of bubbly glass and huge ass wings.
