Strange thing is I don't think we were actually going that quick in terms of top speed, it was more that it was constant and we just didn't shut off the entire way
Which trees was Pete hiding in? I cant remember where he came from. It was the best thing for me that John didnt go nuts on all the really fast (straightish) bits (could have been the £20 I slipped him before we set off
)as it meant I was still able to join in the sport on the twisties. Loved the Sunday run as it was a bit quicker and for want of a better word more competitive than the Saturday one. I do like the touring side but nothing beats having a bit of a ding dong with likeminded people. Chasing Jon was such fun as he was enjoying himself down there but I knew he didnt know the road too well and I tried a number of wildly different lines to try and get round him all of which failed miserably until he hesitated slightly coming down to a righthander and I kept it wound on and scuttled past. I do know being that bit higher up on the multi I can see through some bends that you cant on a sportsbike. Even managed to get my lard arse of the seat for some of the bends which is a little unbecoming on the tractorstrada. I'm just glad I am not in the same group a Jon and Lily at the Oulton track day as I think I would be a rolling chicane for them to get past and I might as well paint a target sign on the back of my leathers
Its only a couple of weeks til I will get put firmly back in my place.
