IHate9ja1:

But looking @ d lagos to abuja trip i think,there should be a time record of less than 6hrs,looking @ how powerful a 1000cc bike is.
Another question is,can a good okada rider handle a hayabusa?

Pull the trigger bro.

@ shagati...thanks for the updates iv already subscribed to the tread on the 2014 convention hopefully I'll be available for the next 1.
I still get the downlow on what went down there and I will also upload d pixs I'll get frm my friend who went to the convention.
The pix Im seeing here makes me feel my 07 Yamaha R6 is 'inadequate' but thats just for now.
I hope the ANMC impasse has been resolved fully now, the Ndubisi Kanu faction et all. I dnt belong to any club per say but it will do much good if the umbrella body's house is in good order.

Shagati:


Pull the trigger bro.

the trigger is in motion...but the head nigger in charge (Mrs) dey block the am ooo

Bros, no dull ooo.
Come, come, come!!!
I was like you a couple of months ago but I finally took the gauntlet around March 2014 and im currently on my 3rd bike.
@ Shagati.....platinum respect sir. I duff my helmet.

@omoajiri,very soon i pray it wld be my turn...na Nigerian factor dey affect me.
@Shagati....mighty man of valor,all am doing is to keep this thread going and interesting,thats the reasons for my questions and its been fun to av a first hand experience with you sir.
Questions for Saturday(tomoro)...
1. Is there a means one can import a bike @ an affordable price from abroad?....good bikes aint cheap.
2. Can a 300cc bike e.g kawasaki 300 make a trip such as the likes of the just concluded bikers convention....(long trips)?
3. In respect to your riding experience,talking of affordability,spare parts availability,servicing,maintenance,reliablity and technical know-how of repairs,which bike brand do you see as the best/prefer(suzuki,yamaha,kawasaki,bmw to name a few)?
4. During your years of riding,what has been ur best elated & memorable experience?
5. What is the longest trip your av done within Nigeria?
My Observation:power/sport/superbike riding is an expensive sport,i must clearly admit,the total cost of accessories i.e helmet,jackets,armour,pants,riding boots,gloves,google et al,all together is enough to buy a tokunbo vehicle.a good helmet alone cost above 60k....its a daring and expensive hobby for the strong hearted.keep it up sir.
Maybe you should get an hayabusa....lol

1. Not sure what you mean by affordable but yes!
2. Someone (or more) has ridden the entire length of South America to North America (20,000km+) on a Honda 125cc bike. You know the saying about elède á de Oyo....?
3. No bike brand is the best. Many brands are good at many things. All depends on what you want.
4. None sticks out. All rides are memorable. Maybe when I do the Lagos-London-Lagos trip
5. Lagos-Uyo-Lagos (1600km) round trip

A 'Busa doesn't fit my style of riding right now. This isn't saying there is no possibility.

Lastly,do you know of any website where clean bikes are sold @ auction abroad.all av been seeing is accidented bikes.
Enjoy your wkend sir.

Hello people, interesting thread. Almost every man dreams of owning a power bike someday: few ever do!
@shagati what is the difference between moto bikes and all terrain vehicles ( with 3 or 4 wheels)?
125cc, 300cc 600cc..what is ths significance? Can you please compare to horsepower so we can relate to cars?

Please like this page 'FD breaking limits' on facebook.
Its all about a Nigerian who is embarking on riding a bike from South Africa to Lagos. He had already done Lagos-Europe-Lagos on a bike and you can see the diary on the facebook page.
Pleade share and creat much publicity as you can.

^^

Already done that. Some guys from Eagles Motorcycle club are similarly embarking on an Out-of-Nigeria world motorcycle tour.

I really want to drive to accra but i dont know if i can in my car. Ive increased the high by about 3 inches by adding bigger sized rims but i keep hearing mixed stories about the state of the roads

Like one of the greatest philosophers of our time said, YES, YOU CAN!
No special preparation is required. get in your car and go!

Sir shagati the model is a 6 series. These are quite low but they do okay on lagos roads. Did you encounter any larger than usual potholes and/or really bad roads?
