What? That house have no garden?

As opposed to a bucket of bolts held together with chewing gum and sticky back plastic, and before you say it plastics are cosmetic, frames are......well.......sort of........important!

Surviving NNWG is all about believing ARAF means ARAF and if you can't see all the way around it assume there's a sheep on the bit you can't see. AND if you see some amazing scenery you want to look at, STOP and look at it else you'll find a sheep/hole/hairpin/massive drop right where you'd expect the road to be if you try and take in scenery while riding.

At the end of the day if you go too fast and/or don't concentrate you're gonna get hurt regardless of what bike you're on!

That's why you have TEC, so if anyone does fall off the road there is someone to point and laugh

Exactly my point! How many rides have we been on when someone says "did you see....blah.....blah?" And I reply "What? No! Where?" To busy riding to gawk at the scenery.

I did not get my knickers in a twist, I simply packed three times the quantity required and then got told off by the PM for having the audacity to walk around my own bedroom in my own underwear, even though it was fine for everyone else to run round the house in their pants and on occasion MY slippers or dressing gown. Of course the PM could have invited others to join us, there was plenty of room for friends in his double bed.

I was TEC so I saw the buzzards and the red kites and the naked women dancing on the side of the road next to the stall with free beer which the others went too fast to spot.

Usually the thing they were on about was in the middle of our lane though.


@LPH: that kinda reads like you two shared a bed

Never said the thunderace can't do it. Just saying it's out of it's element. The gixxer was fine but I could see how much Hong was enjoying throwing in the sv and I felt I was working it a little bit on some corners. Christopher said he'd prefer to ride an SV there for tipability (and also dodgy suspension fun factor).

You could easily ride an Ace round there, but if I was Ad, I'd be bringing the S4!

I'd take the ace, just to prove you wrong.
