Pah, I've done almost 600 miles so far since christmas lightweight my bum!

Good to have you on board mate. Nice one for sticking with the bike through this weather - I passed in November too, and rode all through that winter - you'll be glad when the good weather comes and you have a good load of experience so you can go and really start enjoying the bike.

Look forward to meeting you at the next meet.

Disregard the above. Jon clearly knows nothing.

Always ride with someone slightly faster than you. Your limits are higher than you realise and it's the best way to get quicker. Riding like a mofo to catch up is one of life's great pleasures.

I said *slightly* faster. So for someone on an SV that might be, oh, I dunno, a C90 or something.

Maybe you just forgot to not take it too personally?

That's a frighteningly well-balanced mixture of truth and mischief. Were you a bully at school?

I could understand your point if we hadn't *had* SVs. But we have. And now we don't. QED.
