After seeing you ride cheryl its amazing to think you have only had the blade 2/3 weeks! So composed and controlled! (Secretly jealous I couldnt ride like that after 3 weeks )

thats a secret racing technique, its the suction from your ar$e that keeps you on the seat when the back slides a little

Can't help you with the pics of the lovley Fenjer.. Errm, and I wouldn't want to I already have an owner.. A loverly beautiful owner...



Anyway the pics



From point A to point B is 6miles to get onto and off of the dual carriage way is a lovely 270 bend, at point A it is downhill and point B it is uphill and I just love em. I can't go into it fast I go in slow and build my speed up, I just can't bring myself to go faster on the entry. These are the bends that I watched a fallen friend overtake me on a few years ago, dragging his peg, it looked AMAZING

Point A



Point B

WOW many congrats!!

To get such high praise of one such as the Beenz is high praise indeed.

Itīs great to see such feedback being given, it is all too easy to criticise others riding, and it obviously shows that riding within a group of friends who are looking out for each other means that a new rider can be confident and grow in a short space of time.

I think GG will be one to watch out for on the track days

Oh...picture A......that's the one.....where the little yellow car is is where I sat behind Beenz and SH wondering wether to go for it or not....I wanted to open the throttle and just go for it....but thought better of it as Beenz was right on SH's behind.

I want to do that again though
