Today's Riding Tips

Things I learned on the ride back from Champ Towers earlier.

1) I have a *shite* memory for roads.

2) It is a bad idea to get TWA unless you're fairly sure there isn't a
sharp bend just after the hump-backed bridge (see 1).

3) Disk brakes don't work whilst TWA.

4) ZZR11 brakes work surprisingly well when the user is properly
motivated.

 

What TWA mean?

Two Wheels Airborne. It's accompanied by the sounds of an engine revving
and me screaming.

Actually, I can't be sure I actually took off. But the revs did rise,
and the whole thing got *very* squirrely.

A definite trouser moment.

Just your side of Aynho, IIRC.

Oh, yes, that one. Over the canal. I can see how that would cause
some intestinal commotion.

How the **** could you forget that bridge, it's monstrous and very
clearly marked on the approach from both directions.

I'm fairly stupid.

HTH.
