I wouldn't worry about that, once you hit 45mph mark the curvys 'aerodynamics' take effect and bring you to a halt anway.

Nice colour though and watch out for that Gallows Corner if you go into london by the A12. I that roundabout in the morning rush hour.
Yeah and if you buy a pointy you end up with this http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=47338

Well when your pushing the envelope and hitting the scarey side of 55mph sometimes components like the clutch will fail. It happened to Schumacher at Spa, it happened to Nicky at Brno and now it's happened to me at Romford :P

Oh Yeah and welcome LS.

I avoid that route and use the A13 and Limehouse Link thereafter, far quicker I find and less 'incidents' than the A12!
