Thats pretty good money for a write off, but then it didnt look that bad

Yeah, a bit of a win win all round by the sounds of it. Good to know the old Tiger will be back on the road at some point too

Decided to do track day on Saturday with the Pacific Club...OMG what an awesome experience...

Went to get up this morning and the body didnt want to co-operate, legs are very sore so decided a day at home was in order.

All in all had an awesome weekend. Roll on next track day

Fantastic stuff. Great to hear you went out. It makes a huge difference to riding style and 'oneness' with the bike that's for sure.

What's this with you chicks complaining of sore legs in the morning. Can't figa.

Yeah it was awesome

As for the sore legs it was a combination of several things, doing sessions on the track, and being on my feet for 2 days at the track doing the dummy grid and having to jump over the pit wall to grid bikes on track, and doing rescue at times on Saturday. All this along with having an injured foot for the last few weeks. So hence yes I had sore legs!!!

Standard bike is supposed to be good for 300kph and that one was'nt standard, I think it said 210hp but i'm not sure if that's estimated crank hp or measured hp at the rear wheel.
