    Well a helmet cam actually. Totally road legal SV650 has a bit of a
    moment.

    Is that a big moment in hillclimbing? It looked like he just went a bit
    wide and scuffed something at lowish speed, par for the course on every
    journey if you ride round London.

    Was his time a good or bad one?

    Not really, TBF, but the consequences for going over the bales at just
    that point might be fairly bad seeing as it is on the edge of a cliff.
    Oh, bad. Even I can get up there quicker than that. Difficult to say how
    much time it lost him though.

    One sure way to tell if you could do better :)

    What does one need to have a crack at it in the way of licenses etc, &
    what's the noise limits? I keep thinking about giving it a go on the
    RatTig.

    CBR600 on Rennsports? Can I use tyre warmers?

    What ever you like as long as it has two wheels and an engine. The guy
    with the R1 usually gives Hartland a miss, but the supercharged Bandit
    was probably there. No tyre warmers allowed. We decided that at an AGM
    several years ago. You can use slicks if you are mad enough since last
    year, but no warmers.

    I really wanted to do one this year but I'd started on power station
    work before the first meeting and I've still got a few weeks to do
    before I go into winter hibernation on defence of the realm.

    It's been a long hard summer but I'll get some new toys and a holiday
    or two so I don't really care...

    rather than later.
