You need a twin mate.

Argh - I've just got home from up in the hills now and it's prob pushing it to get out there in time AND it sounds like crap weather so I guess I'll flag too. I'll pop out to the pub later though.

Been there, done that! I think I was unlucky to have taken a corner through a oil patch. Lucky I was going so slow, the bikes rear wheel slid out and dropped away from under me. I stuck my foot out so my leg wouldn't get caught under the bike and my foot slammed the ground with my weight upon it, which reflected the bike back upright again. (Since I hadn't loosened my hand grip)
Darkman was right behind me, he agrees we took the corner at a sensible speed considering the raining conditions, he heard my foot skidding along the ground as the bike came back upright. Damn - Maybe I should have done motocross! It was a good save for an expensive bike. I was taking corners like a nana after that! I'm a little concerned about the Battleaxes wet handling too. It just doesn't add up, I'm thinking I must have hit an oil patch!

Good to see TRTNR-ers down at the joint tonight. Was good to have a chat James.
Looking forward to next week already.
