Good. If I get run over by one more Fireblade I'm going to feel like
someone's telling me something.

heh, this is my first TD since the Bad One. I doubt it.

 

what about if I run you over with the BMW - would that work for you?

you've still done loads more trackdays than me. Also, your bike is
faster.

 

SHould be run in soon - tediously I'm only supposed to use half-throttle for
the first 500 miles

It's a doddle to use through traffic though, came in to work this morning
down the A4, almost certainly not the quickest route from SW14, and even in
the most trafficky bits (i.e. the run up to Piccadilly circus) it was
astonishing the gaps I could get through compared to the last time I
commuted on the mille

You keeping the RSV then?

 

does it run like a pig? My R30 was dreadful until the first service,
after which it was like a different bike. That said, I expect the DR-Z
motor to be a lot smoother from day one than the Rotax.

*ding* - supermotos make perfect commuting bikes (which is one of the
reasons I'd like another).

got to watch out for transit van mirrors, though...

 

Think so. It won't lose much resale value over the next 12 months, so might
as well hang on and think about sellin next spring.

 

he said he was, last Thursday in the pub, you senile old codger.

 

<glum> You have to worry about the ones right behind you, too.

 

"If in doubt, flat out"

 

That would be Yukio Kagayama, John Reynolds team mate in the Rizla
Suzuki squad, at a guess.

 

I've crashed, been run over and suffer nightly from hideous nightmares,
undergone massive depression and lost all my confidence. I'm impotent, was
regularly abused as a child, and if I even think about bikes my rectum
prolapses. My Blade is a shadow of its former self, the frame's bent, the
wheels are buckled and the brakes are shot. Jesus came down to me and told
me I was a ****.

The underdog card will be mine, oh yes.

 

not if you're at the back[1]

[1] yes, I know.

 

you just know you'll only claim to be faster than me in any case.

Eh? what? speak up sonny? I was in the war you know...

 

You can't blame mups for a little moment of forgetfulness. He was
probably up all night nailing his wife.

 

This time I just want to be able to ride it back.

 

That's the one.

 

I'll be waiting ...

 

Zoikes.
