    Nono, lets leave it as laxed out, thats the point!

    Shouldn't need to tell people to ride at their pace, the fastest way to a body bag is riding beyond you ability.

    If you want to ride slow, ride slow.

    If you ride slow enough to be the end cap, you wont get lost, the front pack will stop when we change direction.

    haha it pretty much was. Well I know at times the hyosung was. I had one corner where the throttle was open wide but didn't seem to be keeping up much. The hill, of course, had a bit to do with it haha. Which is good, it means I can get into less trouble and I'll be out growing it when I can get my grown up bike.

    Yeah bro, 6th as it is. I think there's still a decision to make about the tavern and the cock and bull....

    Dunno, i probably wont do dinner there anyways, gluten isn't good for me...

    I think wysper was sorting out the dinner thing anyways....

    Guess we just need confirmed numbers. only problem with the cock and bull is if its busy we wouldn't fit.

    Then again if we could confirm upper numbers they might set aside a drinking room for us.

    That sounds good. I was thinking of not doing an 'official dinner' thing, more just book in a group of us and those who want to eat can eat and those who dont don't need to worry. For instance, cos of family things I will not be eating and probably wont be able to stay that long as I will have to return to the clan.

    I hear you, I was red lining through some of the twistys - never done that before, and found a few issues when the bike was at full throttle.. have to get it checked out.

    No oganised dinner at this stage... just meeting place and take if from there unless I have missed the point completely.

    I was running the diablo's fore and aft on my little VT250, good in the dry but didnt really inspire such confidence in the wet...

    On the Gixxxa (ok so it twice the weight and more that twice the power) I'm running Michelin 2CT on the front (dual compound, harder in the middle softer on the edges where I want the grip during a corner) and a softer pilot power on the rear. Its good fun
    When First starting off in the mornings is a little interesting but down the road they warm up enough to give good feeling. Good in the wet too. And give plenty of grip with a pillion on board.
    For mine is the suffering, and the power, and the glory, two wheels for ever and ever, amen.

    You could opt to be the offical spokesman and organiser then. All the work and no credit
