    My tail make me go faster than sitting on tyre.
    Tell them you cant ride it backwards and the only aero dynamic spoiler you have is Mossy trying to keep up.
    I think there is a few bikes that have questional mods.Its hard when they designed posty junior to take onboard the older f3 bikes which had no limits on them prior.

    Thats cos its 5th gear round there and people are waiting to crash at the nice slow hairpin.
    That corner catches out racers who are suddenly going faster (ahem, Neil). The faster you go round there the less gas you can use, not more.
    I remember following Bruce Anstey there many years ago when he saved a highside only to plough straight into the tyre barrier inside the hairpin. You were probably right to bail out Neil.
    Mega congrads on a great meeting too mate!

    That corner is bloody fast, and on anything with 80HP or more can be a bit of a handful if you get it wrong on the entry. It's full revs in 3rd gear on the 600 and you do hit full throttle for a split second.

    One could well argue Neil was on full throttle the whole previous lap.....
    Did you see how much of a tow he got from the SV down the back straight?

    80 is just outragous.Tone it down a little Neil.A nice usable 60hp is what you need with a three quarter turn throttle.
