I voted for new PB......simply because all your cramped up / painful / restrictive rides will now be much much easier on the Thou. Thus you will enjoy it more, as you will be more relaxed and comfortable for longer periods of time.

Embrace it, have fun and enjoy learning the bike around what is arguably one of the greatest roads in sensible geographical reach to us all.

Personal Best.
For most people that would be best lap time, I think for dave it probably means highest payout for cosmetic damage :-P

Seriously just take it steady. Do a lap or 2 to get yourself into the swing of things and used to the bike, stop for a brew. Gradually increase the pace. DO NOT CRASH ON THE OUT LAP!!!

Do not crash in MotoGP stylee on first bend.

Take it easy and enjoy. Plenty of time, your there for a day or two, whats the rush.

Have fun and enjoy your new bike.

Don't fall off, crash or lose control and ride it into an old ladies house. Old ladies do not take kindly to bikers pulling up next to the telly when they are trying to watch the soaps. Also if she sees you in your leathers, you get get ravished by a 90 year old, which you may or may not enjoy! :D
