Ah that removes Suzy from the check list then

Mental that machine...utterly mental!

Oh dear!.......I thought you were just riding smoothly with easy acceleration and minimal braking on the hill.

Yes they are. One on Tues for learners/novices, two on Wednesday (one normal one slow) and two on Thursday... and whatever else gets organised on the fly as well!

Thanks KoroJ. I am trying really hard to be in the right gear on the hill, instead of being on the break all the time. It's mostly the straights on the highway I am having trouble with. Completely fine on a nice night and I seem to keep up with the pack a bit better. But add a teaspoon in head wind into the mix, and she slows right down when in my top 2 gears. But I have some training coming up soon, and will just keep practising.

Thanks for your help too, much appreciated

Talk to Huff3r on this site. He can make a GN250 do speeds and things a GN250 just shouldn't be able to do!

depends when he gets it, getting to the predicament you were in last year, with having to stay close in case my daughter decides to make an early appearance
