Well there was no point in me pinning it as you would have had me anyway, but that time where I hit the outside lane, I was on the money there and couldnt get past.

You should see my filtering

I'll bear that in mind though, I do tend to spot a gap and go for it, but with better observations I know I could have the same gap but more time to get through it.

Indeed now you mention it. Best thing imo to do is stay back a bit and keep watch then just as the chance comes up start accelerating to get upto speed by the time you pull out your going a fair bit faster than the vehicle your overtaking. Trick I learnt while limited.

You I noticed pulled out then accelerated. Tends to take a fair bit longer to pull off.

Bit of advice if you want it. Feel free to throw it back though

What I remember m8 I could tell you have not been riding the bike long. I rode only the last bit near to you to observe (viaduct to Settle). From what I could tell:
- Good positioning on the road
- Read the road well
- You look well into the corners too (From what I could tell in my mirrors.)
- Not as fast in the corners as I though you would be (but I am sure that's due to the bike being new to you).

IMO Well riden overall. Smooth enough.

Seems fair enough. I think the slower corner speed was a combination of a few things, new to bike like you say, tyres were a bit too well worn (I can tell since changing them) so I wasn't as confident as I am now in them.

Im wondering If I was holding anyone up the other day... Tim was behind me for a bit.
