didn't want to drag it out due to weather turning to shit, the japanese thing, and little brother's hornet spewing oil (will put up a thread to explain why it happened and how the previous owner should have avoided it)

It was awsome ride guys, thanks for big turn ups and great everyone didn't crash!!

What I realised is I need more practice, I don't need power but technique.

But then power would be nice, so that I could overtook Jafa's VFR, Rie's GPX and Insane1's Burgman in that straigh

But great fun. I had most fun in last part of scenic drive.

Now I got heap of uni stuff todo, but it was good ride for the last proper ride that I could go till the exams are over.

a 250 and a 400 led most of that ride

it's 85% rider, 10% bike handling/setup/tyres, and 5% power

(well atleast on a decent windy road)

**Slyer** · 27th September 2008, 18:33

No crashes... yeah...
Who's the other chick?

haha. whose 250 led? was a great ride! finally saw the magic white gn in action, and got lots of practice with gettign off the seat, and leaning the body over rather than the bike (peg scraping).

the last stint was def the most fun (and i got to ride it twice!! muhuhuhahaha! - for my return home). cheers yui. was a great intro to rides for me. (my first ride). loved it. but u're well right. i couldn't get teh "double and add ten" rule going for the bends. so i got lots of prac to go too. at best, i managed to double.

andrew, your bro can ride. was following him for the last segment. it was a good pace to follow. it's prob what made that last bit so much fun for me!

DAM that was on KICK ASS ride! can't wait for the next!

3.Rachel was wondering what we were looking at this time, do you remember anything Nish??
