ooh, yeah, i TOTALLY forgot the main one. INTIMIDATION!

I'm not atall a meanie, but it makes an unbelievable difference to other peoples attitudes toward you when you have a tinted visor. People give you a wide berth, dont mouth of at you so much when you split past them. And if someone pisses you off, just point your helmet at them as if you're staring daggers and watch them STFU

Hey I'm keen to do a reverse coro loop sometime, as a group or just a couple of us would be fun too. Want another SMC learner ride soon to get James going open road on his Bandit too

.

The pace was such that each corner just flowed on from the previous one. Have you ever read that article called "The Pace"? You pretty much followed that apart from the small uses of the brakes.

I'm keen for a reverse coro loop too, jst have to find a nice clear weekend sometime. Maybe during the break between semester 1 and 2.

If done right, you can also check out the ladies and not look like a dirty perve.

I used to wear shades and a clear visor but my old shades broke and the combination of new shades + clear visor meant everything went rainbow coloured and all the white lines on the road disappeared

.

Tinted visor also means I can ride with glasses which is convenient.

I wasn't looking for my helmet! I was pointing to the two large random rocks there with the plaques while asking "why are there two large random rocks here?".

Me (when we were looking at the Hi-Vis stuff) - 'Hey Toto, were both your gloves in your helmet?'
'yeah'
'oh...'

That little night ride was good fun. Toto can you post/send me the other photos of me up there? I want too see if i can use one for my details page.
