Pace aside there are 2 main givaways s9omone has had race experaince ... Firstly they NEVER follow-me-leader ... if they are behind someone, they are always trying to find a way past. Secondly, they brake much much deeper into corners

Yeah, sounds familiar. We are at opposite ends of the UK but if we ever get the chance to meet on the same track we'll have some fun

I'ld be wanting to get past just so I didnt have to watch that ass of your anymore

Nah, I can see that, you've got some real nice lines where the opposition allows, there's a double apex right hander in that vid (god Silverstone has changed) which is taken real sweet. My "racing" was all on, ahem, MZs One thing that class teaches you is conservation of momentum, perfect lines are vital as there's no way you're going to cover up a balls up with your right wrist.

Didn't I read you started in 600s? You do realise novice 600s is the home of axe murdering psychopaths? Late braking into corners? That's the class where you brake to the apex, through the apex, across the outfield, through the hay bales and right into the chain-link Jeez every rookie 6 ended in carnage

Dude, you're in denial! I've raced an MZ, was my first ever race series and those guys are the worst! Those MZ's are wolves in sheeps clothing, serious little monsters, the Jack Russell of the racing world. Just when you think you've shaken it off its there snapping at your heals again!

When I look back I wonder how on earth I managed to make it go round corners, in practice I reckon it took me round corners! My mountain bike has a more substantial frame than the MZ I was raggin around on. As you say though, its a perfect grounding for racing.

Yeah, Rookie 600, BEMSEE 600 and MRO 600s. The 600 classes are indeed nicknamed the Axe-murderers.

Its a rude awakening I can tell you that much!!
