    Today's lesson in lean angle!

    Go Hopkins.....they say the Bridgestone front is fantastic....and looking at this shot, you'd probably agree!
    Fingers crossed that the Suzuki lives up to it's end of season testing results!!

    Hope you all have a great X-mas people.....may see some of you at Wanganui this year!

    It's not helped by my commuter worn tyres. There's an edge a cm away from the edge of the tyre. All of a sudden the bike falls down onto it's pegs if you lean over far enough (which I'm starting to do more often, gotten over the last crash and have been doing my best to keep up with RG100)

    Dunno....but I reckon he'll be one to watch this year if Suzuki stay on track!

    He's been having to ride the ring off the thing to stay with the other bikes due to a lack of HP....his high corner speed could well suit the new 800's!

    And if you want 'elbow' action....check out some of the pictures of young Ben Spies from the AMA.....he evn has his nikname on the back of his leathers....'Elbows'!!
