I might be playing catch up by the time we get to it...lol. I feel like part of the bike already. I have a HUGE amount of skill to learn yet, but I feel pretty comfortable in just the few times I have gone out. The 400 is such an easy bike to ride. If I'm making progress and the bend tightens up, it will just dip in even by just thinking it.

In fact, my mission going out today was to not go as fast as I did yesterday and Saturday or lean the bike over as much, but to try on the open and traffic free bits of road to see how my body position and weight of my feet on the pegs would help me in the corners...it's bloody amazing.

I ended up finding the most incredible road and considering until 6 weeks ago, I had lived only a few miles away from it I cannot believe we missed it. I ended up having one of those rides that I hear people talk about all the time.....where everything just goes right and I was nailing it around some of the bends and it just felt amazing. I got loads of overtaking practise in today as well which I'm pleased about but I'll never want to be like some people when it comes to that. One nob passed me and was flitting past a line of cars one by one, having to grab a load of front brake everytime. He didn't look like a good rider....he looked like an didiot that was dicing with death. After grabbing the front brake myself on Saturday, I do not want to go for overtakes that would mean me having t take such evasive action. I think I'll always like to have a safety buffer.

Now that I can do motorways, we'll have to come over to Aber and meet up with you for a ride!
