Oh? True, I didn't. I'll go faster next time then
You did very well indeed. Especially on the A5, I didn't lose you, not even at *cough
95*

It will be taut and hold the line you choose. Go in with too high a gear and the chances are you'll run wide and have no pull when the road opens up. However too low agear will leave revving th nuts off and having to wait until the road opens up before you can bang in next gear. It's all about experience and feel. You'll get it. We all had to.

One of the most perceptive comments I've read on the org in over 5 years. I tend to keep my bike in 3rd, it revs high and I take it to the limiter, even though that's way beyond peak power, but I like the noise.
Mick - don't feel inept. You did very well to do as you did, they have higher powered bikes than you. So what if they get from A to B quicker than you? I'll bet that you had every bit as much fun as they did.
