    We decide the route when we all arrive but I am sure if you call or PM yachtie he will fill you in. Rather not do that discussion here

    Well, headed out to meet you guys but had the bike drop to one cylinder enroute.....suddenly the white boot jokes aren't so funny anymore...

    Hope the ride went well.

    Me too!!
    One of the cylinders is not getting a spark - it's not the coils as i swapped those, so something is amiss between coils and the ECU.

    Good ride guys... very much enjoyed it today.

    Borris you are much more confident through the corners and it will start to come together for you pretty quickly now I would think.

    Off to do chores now... but with a smile on my dial.. thanks guys.

    Its good to see the training i have had start to pay off.
    It's even better now that i have been told/showen how to ride properly.
    I think that CSS should be complusery for all new riders.

    I couldn't agree more. I did the California Superbike School a couple of weeks ago. They do a brilliant job, the structure of the training and the practice drills is fantastic. While I am already riding a little bit better, more importantly everytime I do something wrong I am more conscious of exactly what I did wrong and what I need to improve on.

    Everyone should do some of this performance training. The skills and confidence gained give you so many more options if things go wrong.

    Not just the plug? Most likely...

    Thanks guys that was great - enjoyed it thoroughly despite my near miss and hectic stopping for the left turn...

    Yep, had my first "too fast (for me) into a corner" and just rolled the throttle a bit more and it wasn't till i was down the road and into the next that i had relized what i had just done.

    that did give me a bit of a scare at the intersection.
    I know i am still new but your lines into right hand corners seemed a bit tight (close to the center line), try staying out wider a bit longer.
