It improves with experience. After a while you can tie yourself into a pretzel and think nothing of it.

Today was 284 km all up by my odometer, but that included two extra trips from the city to South Auckland and back. Not a long trip as they are measured.

haha good stuff!

twas a relatively short ride with frequent breaks - i did forget to mention that if you don't get off and 'unfold' every once in a while you can get quite uncomfortable

myself, i find my legs start cramping up if i go too long and too hard without a stop and a walk around. once that happens i have to stop for even longer as the pain consumes dangerous amounts of attention and restricts my movement, usually in the corners

today i could feel dehydration was setting in by the time i got home

BTW according to Trademe900's speedo, I did match your LSR

I think GN ones read less than what it actually doing, that's what we found out at the end

Like when its 110, its 120, when its 120 its 130.

Well, if we're going by the same system as the world LSR's then you need to beat my record by 1%

Nearly there bro!!!

DAMN IT! you know it was a good ride when it results in pain and dehydration... but woke up that morning and i knew i wasn't going anywhere with my hang over...
