    I can't see how that would work, my mirrors were in my bag, back at the
    paddock.

    Get the ball of your right foot up onto the peg. Other than that your
    positioning is absolutely fine.

  6. You were fookin fast on that B6, I was highly impressed when you went
    down the inside of me at Gerrards with your knee on the deck, but then I
    spotted the photographer... :) I have no idea why you were in the
    novice group - there's no way you would have been slowest in the Inter.

    I think you may have to pop over to a shop owned by Germans that's in
    Braintree if you want a set like mine. I've had them 3 years and they
    work fine. I think Ginge has a set the same.

    Shuuuush!

    I looked good in the Novices, no-one overtook me all the time I was
    there.

    I don't really give a flying **** how well they stand up to someone
    else's riding, all I'm certain of is that they weren't up to the job
    when I took the Bandit over the mountain with Adie on the back.

    No bullshit, no wind ups, they were sliding around under braking and
    accelerating out of corners and they were deformed around the tread
    pattern.

    Take a look at what I did to mine a bit later on, with the back let down
    from 42psi to 36.

    Personally, apart from your stickie-out left foot, I think it looks
    better than Lozzo's position. Hanging off for the sake of it isn't
    what it's about.

    Of course, the chances are that Loz was also going a wee bit quicker
    than you, so you can read into that what you like...

    I did witness that. Either they were running way off pressure or you
    were riding like an absolute ****.

    Could be suspension mind, mine is ripping up a bit now but not as much,
    it's wearing an Ohlin/Showa hybrid.
