    Ah, so that was the reason with the Hyosung? And here I was about to vote him the ride's Most Improvement In Confidence In Their Ability To Stick To The Posted Speed Limit, or, as I like to call it, the MOARACRONYMS award.

    And there's even beer in the work fridge for when I finish tonight's shift!

    yeah yui alerted me to it at bp so we had a chat. turns out while i only a few times brushed 100, his speedo was reaching 118

    so almost 20% put, like most fxr. might be interesting to see if this is normal or possibly if it's a tyre or sprocket issue

    Man, that Viffer is a real attention whore eh? Although I suppose she can't help it, being so sexeh and all.

    And trust the Suzukis - two days of riding and they're already falling apart.

    now, awaiting squiggle's post up of moar info, i do believe the SMC has a subsidy for some insane number of RRRS courses.

    it's a great course and covers what we have done today and more, in a lot more depth, with a nice section of grippy airfield to then go out and put it to practice - this includes emergency manuveurs and braking, and corner control. top notch course even for the experienced among us.

    after the club subsidy i think it's all of $25 for the day. add $1 for club membership if you have not already

    Hi it's Gummies wife here

    He cant come to the computer right now due to the body pain setting in. This is the first long ride he has been on and its so funny watching him trying to get up and watching him walk with such discomfort to every inch of his body including his but. I would just like to thankyou for the laugh this is giving me right now LOL Even though in pain he is still grinning from ear to ear
