Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Great post Kwacky. I can't even remember how I got on here, wasn't there an exodus from GB Bikers? I may be making that up.

Anyway, I've been off here for a long time (off bikes too) but really enjoyed the odd ride out that I got to and the camaraderie on the site. Looking forward to reintegrating myself in the coming months.

Great job on the new site to all involved

Jimmy, you came over from the old Sportsbiker site. As did a few others including Norfolk.

Jimmy, didn't you once post a video of you hooning that SPS up the mountain?

That bike was beautiful.

I can't remember what you were riding Jimmy but do remember meeting up with you and a couple of your mates at McDonalds in Macclesfield a good few years ago. We went for a ride out down some of my favourite roads in Derbyshire and I remember you making a very good clean overtake on me and then having a great view of you dragging your knee for a good 20 yards round a very fast corner. That image is embedded in my mind and I still try my hardest to replicate your style every time I go round that same corner but fail miserably every time.

It was fooking impressive

I remember that rideout. It was a sportsbiker one I organised. I think the kids he was with thought we were old timers ready for retirement

It was Duke who introduced me to Sportsbiker.com he was D63 then, it was around March/April 2008 when I met Duke I'd just purchased a 2008 blade and it was Blade day at Donny that year and he was handing out key rings with Sportsbiker.com on of which I still have, talked to a few guys on the site and arranged to meet one for a blast, a bloke called Kwacky, I've gone missing a couple of times from Tankslap and work stops me posting as much I'd like to but it's a great site and it's introduced me to some great people over the years and many of them I count as good friends and know would be there for me if I ever needed their help, so thankyou very much Kwacky and Tankslap.

I was part of the Daytona600.org crew, IIRC I joined sportsbiker to get a cheap pillion seat from Kwacky (maybe it was something else, my memory isn't what it used to be. And it used to be just poor!) and made the migration to Tankslap when d600.org went under.
Just like the Daytona site, Tankslap is the first site I check when I turn the computer on.
I'm on a Z1000 forum, but I rarely post. I was on a bodybuilding-type forum, I haven't been on in a couple of years now.
Tankslap has stood the test of time. I even post sometimes!

Pmsl I had forgot that bit but yeah your right they did, haha lol

The lads didn't want me to mention this until it was official.

But we have had a whip round for you two.




You owe us £6.57

did he move from that position during the rest of the afternoon or is he still there


I'm dont frequent any other bike forums ... I may pop in to 675.com or some facebook pages.
I've met a fair few of you and you're still talking to me so thats not a bad thing

I too was on the d6.org site and took the keys off Kwacky when he got totally frustrated with it and managed to keep it going for another 18months before the site owners got involved.
I was also on sportsbiker
Thankfully when TankSlap started Kwacky, Nutz and the other Mods on here decided to migrate some of the technical and relevant Daytona blurb. And with that, a number of the D6.org members followed on.

I like the site. Theres no malice or 'Witch Hunts' and I have genuine friends I've met from here

Good Job Kwacky / Nutz / the TankSlap team and all of the past, current and future members

I had brake from biking for a few years and caught the buzz again a lot of my old biker friends have either given up biking or left the country. Kwacky invited me on a ride out from another site. With a bit of trepidation but keen to make new friends i went along. I was really took back by how friendly everyone was and how welcoming you all are. Really enjoy the laughs the banter and the riding so happy i went on that ride out (you may not be but i am )

I think it showed when we went on that 675cc forum ride out. We were the ones doing the chatting. A few of them didn't say a word to us. We pulled up at the pub and took the closest table so a load of them walked past us and sat elsewhere. Very cliquey.

Yeah it was not the best organised thing but i had a good day chewing the fat with you and a couple of others. In all honesty if that had been the first time out with you lot I may have been put off as no one really wanted to talk out side there little groups.

I was put off slightly on the first tank slapper ride out by Blades ASS been wiggled at me every 5 minutes he's such a tease.

Blade is a tart as soon as he gets his leathers on.

You never complained at the time, don't start acting all big and cool now.

You two timing bitch.

I thought it was you honest

I pop in now and again, but forced singledom again plus maturing years, juggling finances and house etc eats up a lot of the time in a day .
I do check by most days but sometimes don't have the energy to log on.

Long standing MCN'er for nearly 14 years on and off until it became more like a dating site, and that's one thing I will never be doing again!!.


It's difficult when you're middle aged and ride, some woman like the look at me approach, where as I prefer to fade into the background.

But anyway, this site has welcomed me fondly without lewd remarks and slowly feeling more comfortable being around. I like banter but hate the comments which is so common on a lot of forums ,it just isn't me .

Thank you for finding me a corner to sit in , love from me looking in watching you

what model gsxr750 bb41 ? I had a k2 and loved it to bits

Mine is the K9 and I must say she is the easiest bike I have ever ridden, smooth , comfortable and behaves well .

Did have a look at the Speed triple and Daytona 675 , but I am happy so why change her ?
