    She can't crawl or walk yet let alone swim! However she has learnt to balance herself on motorcycles.

    Little bugger doesn't know what she is in for - I've already sized up some boots and the cost of custom made leathers so she can ride one of those mini bikes.

    ok, had a look at the tank cam stuff i got today, i'm going to have to compact it down by cutting out all the boring straight line stuff. Got some decent twisty riding aswell as a few lifts (not quite wheelies) and some other higher speed stuff. At the moment there is a few hundred mb of video, so i'll compress it down and give it a soundtrack.

    Unfortunately the camera crapped out when i went off by myself like a bat out of hell, which would have been the best video of all. Oh well, least I know it works.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Great Ride

    Hey, thanks very much everyone for a really enjoyable day.
    It was my first experiance of group riding and found the low key no pressure riding great fun.
    Even though im on a big bike, i have very little road experience, so following a few of the faster guys was invaluable,

    Cheers everyone

    Hopefully i will make the next one as well

    Wasn't that you that was keeping up with Spank and Hellraiser? Pretty sure it was an Aprillia I took a photo of on the way past and I only took the 1st 3 riders.

    you were travelling man - respect.

    Personally, I think its not a good example regardless of how much visibility there is. Also its bad training, if the corner is sharp... (which it is) then pratice taking the sharp corners. E.g work on the line

    I do agree that its not good pratice to cut corners Zapf but a) with the speed i was carring into that corner it was the best line and it was SAFE to do so. b) I didn't know that the newer guys were there untill i saw someone on the side of the road taking photo's, other wise i may have given them a example of how to run off the road and hit the camera man instead ..... LOL

    Don't worry the bulk of the learner group had their backs to the corner and parked in the carpark on the side road. Anyway in my case I don't think there is any corner my Ginny could carry too much speed into that I would need to cut the corner

    What is the problem?

    Having looked at the picture again I can't see what the problem is.

    Also amused why no one else jumped to his defense (coz of the 3 cyclists on the road....just out of frame!)

    yea I know what you mean. I remember that corner well, its a really sharp 90 degree corner at the end of the long stright.

    try not to hit the camera man, I think there is a ditch on that side :P
