Well, it's official

Well done Chanceyy!! I saw your bike at Manfield yesterday but no sign of you...will have to catch up next time ok. This is so cool to see you doing so bloody well on the little rocket. I knew you would, I had a lightbulb moment the other night and realised my early days of horseriding have helped my bike riding. I prefer downhill to hillclimbing and I worked out why. I had this little black pony, Lubra,(see profile pic) and she would always bolt down hills. I would have to really push her to canter uphill but just point her down any hill and hang on for grim death. There was no way to stop her either. She taught me well though...how to fall off, then how to go really fast down hill and stay on. I believe the same principles apply to bikes so if you ever get in a scary situation you know you have the skills to ride it out. Always look for an escape and never give up.
Looking foward to catching up with you again soon. Stay safe out there hon!

what can I say but IMPRESSIVE!!! For someone who has had little time being in control on a bike I have to say you have grasped it very quickly!!
You have got engine breaking down pat,youre cornering(which little glitches should be ironed out at mansfeild......... )is to be credited,great line,and being aware of ya guages and listning to your engine is all a credit to you!!!It is an absolute pleasure to ride with you .The ride over to mansfeild was a good pace and you kept up (even if we appeared a long way off..i had you in my sights !)The ride home when you took the lead was awesome.....except when you took off at intersections and left me and the boys to dodge the traffic........any one would think youve been riding for years!!!!!!!Passing that bus today was an absolute giggle..I was wondering if you would or not.....well done.....


Roll on next Sunday.......

yeah tossed up about passing that bus .. but ahh well its gotta be done and as my mentor has said its no different that if i was passing in a car .. guess i have to lose that nana title huh

& I guess I am living proof that :

1) once you have ridden a bike you never forget how
and
2) you can teach an old dog (bytch) new tricks

roll on sunday .. but first looking forward to saturday ..so who is bringing the video & camera's

Absolutely! I'm sure there's something she's not telling us!!! LOL

lol thanks hon .. but umm nope you have been there from day 1 .. from the first ride in 25 yrs .. just goes to prove my theory above ... but man i am so loving it .. (lets hope we get a real indian summer )

yeah alot of the principals in horseriding so do relate to motorbikes as clive will hopefully find out this weekend .. I am sure i would have binned yesterday without that focus through the corner stuff at the end .. by changing my focus and looking hard to where i wanted to go it got me through the ops moment ..

thanks for all your support hon, sorry i did not catch up with you yesterday but did not venture into the pits much .. anyhow I think the bike liked being down there looking purty .. am sure she is a female herbie ..

Good stuff!!! I'm glad I missed that 'Oops moment' though. But that's what learners licenses and track days are for right. Now you've got both, well done!

Nice bike there Chanceyy. I saw it when I arrived and galloped over to have a look. Congratulations (and a little envy) on such a nice bike.

I hear she generated quite a bit of interested when she was parked up in the pits by the sidecar guys ..

she is a hell of a fun bike ... think she will be in my stable for quite some time ..
