Federer, first few times round that corner you were upright and steering around. By the end you were counter steering and leaning in a bit. I think you should be very pleased, I bet you had a good ride home ;-)

Bikesafe? On a track? With your reputation? ;) Excellent pictures.

I wish our Bikesafe had a track element! It would be awesome on Trac Mon.

Cheers, I can't wait to get out on track and try again. I did have a good ride home, much more confidence, enjoyed following _Stretchie_ didn't always keep up mind!

Many thanks again to him for leading me back to Brizol.

O right, thats a shame. Due to your bike being weird or rider error?
