Haha well im due in the inters then! Just want one more session in the novice to get use to the cornering speed of the R6 compared to my road going SV. EVERYTHING is different on the 2 bikes so takes a bit of getting used to.

Just bear in mind that there's no big cutoff at each group, rather there's a continuum between adjacent groups. The fastest riders in the novice group will be quicker than the slowest in the inters.

If you find yourself carving past slower riders a lot, it's definitely time to move up. I held back for ages and it was a mistake, one I'm trying to learn from this time round.

I know what you mean about changing bikes though. If you think the SV and R6 feel different, imagine what it's like switching between a KTM supermoto and a gixer thou, from the moment I reach for the bars or try to find the pegs with my feet.

K4 1000 (hence "gixer thou").

Heh. I like the bloke falling off behind you. I was just thinking "ooh, he's a bit quick, he's about to....oh, no, he's not. Oops."

Here's my last session of the day, for comparison. Quite interesting to play them side-by-side and see where you gain on me and vice versa.
