Quite possibly - I went back and saw a fucken huge hole punched through the fence... but the bike parked on the road side of it, intact, still looking at the fence...

EH?

A previous incident had taken out the fence, DD just redecorated the lawn in front of it. Nothing too serious though - rear brake disconnected was it?

I was so worried i was going to smack straight into that brand new wire fence!! hehe
yeah... snapped the bracket the holds rear brake slave to peg...

Same corner

Its a nasty corner, as it comes over a hill then sweeps right, then tightens up even further. The other week i braked for the first part of the turn, but when i tightened up, went 'screw this' and went across the grass

Even going slower on that corner last night it still nearly caught me out.

Maybe over the weekend we should go out and perfect that stretch of road eh?

[Chaosmage]

yeh I must admit I went and did that stretch on Satuday just been and that corner was one I watched afer underestimating it the first time.

Thank you everyone for a great first ride - sorry if I was going snail's pace - Love to do some more rides, great motivation to do some more practice and push myself a little more.

Thanks

Hey - was that you on the Red Hyosinger?

edit - snails pace is fine (fine fine fine). Knowing your limits, whatever they may be, always gets my respect. Push them by all means, just don't exceed them.
