When you've completed and passed your IAM, come back and say something of value, oh wait, that's right, you had no comeback to my last post.. you've been drinking Castrol 2T too much pal, the shit slides out of the orifice at the oral end of your alimentary canal too easily for you to realise.

Sure, why not..

Pommy porkasaurus punter is dreamin' - if he fancies his chances..
Dipshit, I've got ZERO interest in going round a track for any reason. I notice though you have nothing of riding technical value to come back with, my job is done, go inhale some more 2T fumes. What is sad is a total imbecile like you, has somehow gotten hold of such a classic bike 'H2', maybe one day it'll find it's way to someone who knows how to ride it.
meanwhile, I'll continue to ride my porkasaurus Hondarus, safe in the knowledge if I REALLY want to enrage your feeble mind, I can go to my local bike shop and take out my 'on behalf' Stage2 MT-01 for a ride.

I dropped the bike last weekend, it was only 3 laps into the first session of the day but up until the drop it felt quick. I was going around the sweeper with my knee down and my body hanging off the side when about 3/4 around it just went. I broke off the footpeg, stuffed the fairings, twisted the front shocks etc etc. Thankfully others were there to help out and I was back on the bike for the next session.
After my fall I was told by a few people that I am going to always end up on my ass if I keep asking my MC22 to go fast, mostly because I am bottoming out both shocks while in the corner but having not ridden anything else I thought it was just normal to feel every undulation on the roadI don't think the front shock does much as I have also worn out the sides on a brand new BT090 front in 1000km.
What's cool is that I managed to crack a 1:23 on the lap before I dropped it but I didn't put the camera on as I didn't think I was going to be that hard early on. The rest of the day was spent taking it easy and focusing on my lines as the bike is a piece of shit, I'll put up a video tonight.
So now the MC22 is set for road duty only and I am looking for a dedicated track bike, probably a GSXR600 or CBR600RR of mid 2000's vintage. Getting a bigger bike might also help with the fact I can only reach 155km/h on the front straight![]()
Jokes. Welcome to KB and nice riding. You can buy my bike if you want!
Here are the last two laps of the day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7vbaTxgSX0
Riding looks a lot smoother than the last video and the lines are a bit more consistent. Still gutted I didn't get the fast laps on video and the eventual fall, it would have made for quality viewing and also shown I was carrying was to much angle in the corners![]()
