Hey jimbo! what do i use to open your video?

Just bring your earplugs next month. Jim on his VT250 Spada was faster. He kept popping wheelies.

Barrier? There is a barrier? My flying.. Umm.. I seem to recall a number 2x as much as everyone else.. Not sure what it was.

!!! Urk.

I thought you had a cbr250rr with a funny swingarm, I didn't realise it was a cbr400.. No wonder you were so much quicker than me and jim.

Here's my effort: 211.45 kmph.

Heading towards the start line and the bike stops accelerating...I change gear...that doesn't help.
Then before I get to the finish line the bike starts losing power.

Apperently there was a puff of blue smoke, I think that would correspond to the point where bike start slowing down.

I'd say it was only running on 3 cylinders for most of the timed part of the run and then it felt like a dirty old twin on the way home.
