Any camera on this ride,neat with BB on now,like the vids Lance,even if some loser tosser doesn't,fuck bored after 1 minute viewing,wtf is he on or about?Probably be happy if it was a wrx or evo doin it.

No camera out last night. Shame cause there were some good roads to be had. All pretty pacey but nothing extreme. No one had any oh fuck moments and there wasnt even one second where I thought I wasnt going to make a corner or was going too fast.

Dont encourage the lad. The Yodmister has found some pace with his time off the bike. Nice solid riding.

That's the BIG difference between guys who think they can ride into corners with knee down and say wohoo I got it down,and those who think shit could be sphinkter tightening stuff here,and scrub off a bit of speed prior to turning.The obvious is,they will crash,youth vs experience.

just haven't bothered to put them all back on after refitting the generator, etc, as they're going to have to come off again later this week so I can have a minor repair done to the indicator mount (was busted when I got it)
