Nobody would dare on a Maha/Mom ride!!
it was all very responsible and restrained until a TL arrived and decided he wanted a pootle. Death dropped it down a cog, i couldnt resist then !!! The TL didnt get very before Death caught him, with the KTM bwarp bwarping behind !
One thing i noticed was that the sportsbikes get some insane lean angle whilst the ktm used the bars to the same effect... very confidence inspiring.
but yeah, we knew our place!
