Isn't it past your bed time?

Almost.

It's intriguing being online at this time of day, the "New Posts" change very rapidly!!!!

I'm killing time till I meet some of my bike mates at the pub. For a drink. And a meal. And to talk bullshit. As you do.

I'll be stuffed tomorrow, as I won't get to bed till around 9.30pm tonight. Horrors!! (specially as I'll have to wash and dry my hair first y'know)

And those of us old enough to have been try to pretend we weren't.

Well then - let's log times, keep a tally and record the improvements people make

Mine: (all largely traffic free runs)
Cage 10'05".9
R1 9'47" and change
VTR 9'13"

VTR I found was better as was less violent out of corners, good torque, geared well and mainly I knew it infinitely better than the R1......and before you ask - yes this behaviour is most likely why I fell off.
