Was some really nice long sweeping corners, thoroughly enjoyed that road, I thought I got lost in plymouth but eventually found my way. I'm still amazed he managed to hang on to you, he sort of looked like a rucksack with legs.

Understatement of the year? Always above 7k and its only got a 10k redline.

Steve, i was really shocked at how fast your took your bike - didnt think it would do that ! I was trying but was always slight behind, i think its the corners i need to work on, i always seem to checken out of taking them fast and slow down too much for them !

Haha, that was my bike on the redline everywhere, didn't drop below 7k all the way that is how fast it goes.
Sort of pathetic really.
Just take it easy, best not to go out of your comfort zone yadaydada. Where did you go anyway, sort of lost you, waited for ages but you never caught back up. Guessin you turned off somewhere.
