Spiers. I forgot to ask. Did you ever catch that Desmo on the way the Market Harborough?? I tied keeping up with you two for all of 2 minutes till I decided it probably wasn't a great idea.

That duke came flying past us after I let him past, I was gonna play and let him try keeping up with me, but I got bored and let him through.

Edit, forgot to add a at the end of my post.

Ha, yeah I did. When I saw he caught up it was like a red rag to a bull.
He pulled off about 5 miles down the road. He was quick in a straight line but a tad slow round corners.

It was good fun going after one. He didn't look behind him for the entire time but when he did when he turned off I think he was a bit suprised I was right behind him.

I saw the way he way riding in my mirrors, pulled over, and waved him through. Lenny and I were not hanging around, and he had obviously caught up with us from behind, so I knew he was travelling quicker than us and was going to be all over my tail until he got through.

I am getting too old and sensible!

Lenny, I was ****ing myself when you missed that bend and shot straight on down a country lane!

I hadn't seen Spiers go round that bend, but I'd made the assumption that's where we were going and was just setting up for the corner, then when you didn't tip in for it... EH?!

Why is Lenny going straight on? Are we going that way? Nope, Lenny is braking and there's Speirs down there. Why is Lenny going that way? OK, I've delayed tip in that long, I'm not going round that bend now either, ABORT FOLLOW LENNY! Realise what just happened and burst out laughing! Almost all the riders behind did the same thing.

What happened? Did you just not see the bend, or did you just decide you weren't going to make it?

He was just riding quick in a straight line. Around 125 most of the time.

I was too close on his tail TBH, we were basically tipping into the bends a split second apart. I didn't give myself enough time to think. Had I been a hundred ft behind, not 20-30 ft, I had have just sailed round the bend laughing at Lenny.
