And me Stewie, I'm not that far away either if you fancy a bimble around the Peaks.

Ding dong! That's stunning Leigh!

Best thing for confidence Stewie is more riding. I've noticed a big difference since I became a fair weather rider and stopped commuting every day. I'm riding around like little miss daisy at the moment!

Its not just about getting your arse crack on the edge of the seat and knee out, you need to get your upper body over the side of the bike too, as if you are looking directly at your face in the mirror on most sportsbikes. Very true Duke63, very true buddy! We had to take the mirrors off Cornish's ...

Monty only gets his knee down whilst cleaning up the cack left by his kids...:-) There maybe some truth in that Cornishman, but it's normally both knees! A bit like you down at the park toilets! I'm not actually trying to get my knee down, I'm trying to go around the corners faster without falling ...

That does sound nice, is it a stroker?

I'm thinking yoga may be the better option!

I can get my knee down if I really stretch, but given the lean angles I'm getting it shouldn't be a stretch. Which says to me my body position is all wrong or I need to do some yoga. I wasntt saying you couldnt get your knee down, but thinking that a school designed to help people do that will prob...

(rolf) No I'll pass! The problem is you end up riding riding these things way above what they're designed to do. Where as on a sports bike on track most riders are at maybe 70% to 80% of what the bike is capable of with a big safety margin. Plus after a few hours you start to get cocky, we were back...

Monty had fun racing sccoters. Right up until his miniature highside :D Yeah really can't recommend it. I actually had two highsides, the first one I did a full 360 and landed on my feet. Unfortunately I was still travelling faster than I can run and ended up doing a superman into the crowd. The se...

Said the old bull to the bullock!

Pirelli say the same thing about their SCs Deegee.

No mate, enthusiasm I've got it in spades!

Recon I could beat the little fecker at that!

Jack have you got a linky? Can't find anything on the tinterweb.

No, but it sounds loverly.

Suppose if you run out of shells you could lob sauce pans

Nice slippers!

Looks like you have the same problem a me Riccardo. Neil Hodgson told me if I didn't start hanging off more I'd end up in the kitty litter. Spent the last two track days trying to improve my body position but was that knackered after 20 minutes I had to get someone to hold the bike while I got/fell ...

Be great if you could leave a smoke trail whilst on the bike. Ala red arrows

Mine does that as standard, as Kwacky will attest.
