I hit 153 on the Gixxer.... That's more than enough for me. I'll be concentrating on better average speeds by trying to corner faster

i've always found the 2000SVs is perfectly happy getting upto 110, then it will coast to 120 but if the winds with you and your flat on the tank it can get upto 132 is the best i've managed on er a race track ...called the M1.....

A1, Sunday (allegidly)...

A Porche Carerra was driving south, I rolled up behind him & he pulled in to let me past - I thanked him by giving him the 'thumbs up'

And I pulled back in to the left... On this the Porche pulled alongside me and waited... then shot off I though, right you fecker...

You in your £50,000 car & me on my £4,000 bike... I dropped a cog & nailed it... I shot past him & looked down to see 120mph on the clock (allegidy)...

'I better slow down me thinks,' though I...

Still Mr Porche & his 'oh-so' la-de-da missus were impressed

Mis-use of speed on a public road is both dangerous & irresponsible - I promise not to do it again (until the next time)
