If you've got the machine use it how it's designers meant it to be used

I had a friend on the back of the 12 a few months back and they'd kept at me about how quick the damn thing would go so gave them a taste of what the old girl could do.....took her upto an indicated 290km/h and before we pulled in to a stop I could hear them laughing their arse off...waxed lyrical for days about how it was the most exhilarating thing they'd ever experienced

back in the 80s Bob Burns (Vincent sidecar speed record fame) rolled in home to see the old man one afternoon on a 1400 intruder as he was off for a ride to the west coast and wanted see if the old man wanted to tag along, he not long turned 80 and was keen as mustard.

never crossing the centreline is rule #1 for me, Ive always thought that if you cant stay in your own lane, you're riding outside your ability.
If you wanna use the whole surface, do a trackday!.

that aside, we're all old enough to know better, but we still do it. Im not innocent either

Amen, and that includes your body being over the line.
