No idea and no idea, sorry Blade. I suspect he was taking it easy today as he was second until the last couple of laps when he passed the leader fairly easily. Fair play to the bloke though he seemed well into the racing and was chatting away to the other competitors afterwards.
not sure if he was there to get his TT race licence or just to give the R1 a shakedown test.

Got them both out of the shed to have a tidy up. Decided to start the track bike up, as it hadn't been started for a couple of months. Dam Honda reliability, 2 quick thumbs of the starter button and it's purring away. Not bad for an 18 year old bike that's spent it's entire life on track.
Got a bit carried away after that an decided to fit the camera s well. It's bloody hard trying to find somewhere to attach the recording unit to when all the unnecessary bits have been cut of.

Blimey. Not worth adjusting the rearsets and improving the gear change? It's a great bike.

I know the bike you mean, very very nice in the best colours, done deal, buy it is my advice
Biking is your hobby and passion if your not enjoying the RC8 change now and enjoy a full summer on something you can enjoy, why compromise.
