View Full Version : Jedi powers!
Its taken 6 months but I guess nearly 3 months were snowbound. My Jedi powers on the bike are returning. Closed the laptop at about 4pm, and went for a blast. The first 20 mins were awful - poor 'progress,' hitting the apex too early and having to stand the bike up then dip back into the corner :(.
The last hour was awesome...... ssshhhhhh, don't say anything about speed ;) :plod:
Cornering, overtaking including timing when there is a stream of traffic coming the other way, braking and tipping into corners ------ yeeeeehhhhhh :smt045 :smt045
The new tyres are now well scrubbed in.
Oooooohhhh, qui qui Churchie!
Sorry guys but after 4.5 years of hell I am just mega chuffed :D

I went out and did about 80 miles this evening, and likewise, things were much better than last week and I throoughly enjoyed myself!

Well done Bri !
Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you are finally back on your top game again after not being able to ride for a while.
May the force be with you! :cool:
