    I remember over taking you what seemed like just off the roundabout, I
    don't remember Judge at all.

    This is probably more down to my shite memory than it not happening.
    I remember your comment about the exhaust when we got the Englands
    Rose. It'll be nice to find out what the Remus Ti can on the new one
    sounds like when giving beans as well. Fancy a re-run?
    Don't remember that bit, but I don't remember backing off because I
    then caught up Cane on his Blade. Actually, no, that was another time
    when me and Cane raced each other off the island.

    I know.
    Not to sane-minded people, no.
    Indeed they might.

    Prolly, like "not victimising" perhaps. It was the big D himself that
    used it, IIRC.

    Ahhh, I see where you're coming from now. I missed that post (like all
    the others)

    Yes I'm definitely considering it.... and it does look lovely.

    The reality is it's very unlikely I can afford either the bike or the
    insurance increase though. I haven't actually checked what the insurance
    would be mind you.
    I also would like a bike that's more comfortable.. the 600 isn't
    uncomfortable per se, but it's definitely become less enjoyable to ride as
    I've owned it longer.
    I'm also becoming a wuss with regards speed and rarely go above 100mph...
    therefore most of the point of the 750 would be wasted, other then round the
    roundabouts.

    Of course I thought that before when I was looking at replacements for the
    SV...

    Oh and it's reached the point that unfortunately a car needs to be purchased
    before a new bike.
    TWO is great and all, but not practical.

    It was about at the junction halfway along, where it kinks right. I
    was in the middle of the right lane, Judge in the middle of the left
    lane, a couple of bike lengths ahead of me. You shot through like a
    ferret down a rabbit hole, then a dark blue Fiesta moved into the
    right lane well before the roundabout, as they do. You braked like a
    **** and I sat up, half expecting to have to pick up the pieces.
    I recall you wryly grinning about your can, because it made it
    absolutely obvious if you were to miss a gear;-)
    Re-run any time ... when it gets a bit warmer and drier. I really
    don't want to give it max beans atm, with the roads being as they are.
    So many incidents, so few functioning memory cells ...

    Sounds quite likely.
    Oh certainly. I think the likelyhood of me giving the Thou maximum
    beans is very slim until the summer, and most likely on a racetrack.
    Too true, and I'm 15 years younger than you :)

    Pens weren't invented then.

    When I passed my English A-Level my teacher wrote on my report "Alan has
    either cheated or worked very hard". Her name was Miss Williams. She was
    a huge fat woman who sat at the front with her legs open. She hated me.

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Ben
    Seems to me the 'FOT just needs extending slightly. A sighting pass to
    look for tax-gatherers, followed by a qualifying lap...

    Save your keyboard, Ben. He won't answer, he's too ashamed to admit

    But not too ashamed to continue with the lie. He's a prize ****.

    Strange though. I still feel he could go a long way towards
    re-integration into society if he'd just 'fess up and make a clean
    breast of it. Oh, and apologise (publicly, emails don't count) to the
    various people he's right royally fucked off in the interim.

    Bollocks. you'll be riding it FWO after a couple of days, max.

    Don't continue to delude yourself about this - you don't actually have
    a choice.

    I think they do their revenue gathering at the turn off for the market -
    where the markings are on the road.

    On a GSX-R600 you can get up to a speed that looked like 130mph but
    obviously wasn't and still brake far too early for the roundabout if you
    give it some beans after this junction.

    Of course this assumes there aren't any unmarked cars on the same bit.
