And the number plate GUN.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and cornering ability.. but really.. you dont _need_ to hang your knee off like an F1 rider.. and overtaking on blind corners.. well... I dont care about you, but it'd be a waste of a nice bike..

Formula 1 is a car thing. TTF1 (sometimes referred to as F1) is a defunct motorcycle racing series that ran from 1977 to 1989.

If he was getting his knee down in an F1 car, then that is pretty damn impressive, on a bunch of levels.

Well.. I do.. but I'm not sure I have a clue about what you are talking about..

ps, I was trying to be polite, since I am prone to doing silly stuff on bikes myself.. but myself and my father in law, who between us have been riding for 70 years kinda went.. "eek.. even allowing for brain farts, thats just dumb"

Some street circuits here like the Cemetery Circuit still run Formula One
