the handling wasn't the problem - it was the massive horsepower !!!

You blokes on 10's with the power deficiency don't get handling problems..............

Not how I saw it!

What I saw was two blokes who can ride at the same pace, one got a break in the traffic, the other didn't. So the one who got caught in traffic, played catch up. Problem was, the other bloke was still running at the same pace, which meant said rider had to ride at 10/10th's to get there. That in itself would have been fine, but, that corner was a corker. It nearly caught all of us out in that front group. It was weird, the way the sunlight flooded through the trees, made it look like the turn was an easy 150-160 gazelle doable. But in actual fact, it tightened dramatically just after the shadow and turned into a 80 gazelle doable and said 2nd rider was still at 160 gazelles!!!!

I think rider weight wa to blame, as those 12's have brilliant stoppers normally!!!

unsaid 4th rider also had a problem with that corner, but he's an idiot on an old underpowered bike that likes to have a lay down every now and then

Don't forget to add the dodgy patch of bitumen right where said rider was hard on the brakes...

I just reckon more rear brake was required. Worked for me

Those bloody 10 riders are nothin but trouble. Ban them all I say.....after this weekend.

What is a ten?

What do ya mean what is a ten? Havn't you got 6 of those in your garage now too??????

Fuck mate, if ya need a hand keeping the fluids circulated on all those machines you own, let me know will ya!!!!!

back to the topic.................

Once again I will say it as politely as I can. All you 10 riders are just a big bunch of poofs. You have a bike which weighs less, handles better, has better tyres and more horsepower with a better power delivery than the Superbikes I punted around on in the mid 90's and apart from the odd one of you, you couldn't ride out of sight on a dark night! Bunch of poofs I tell ya! Glad to see that the list of owners has reduced now that a certain "senior" (That's mexican for mister) member has started with a blank canvas!!!!!!

I reckon something happens to your brain when you own a 10. All the corner speed goes out the door, because you have a light bike with heaps of stomp. You need to get yourselves on a Rex and see what corner speed is all about!!!!

WOOOHOOO I'M A POOF!!!!!!!!

I'd say something happens to your brain BEFORE you buy one

Now, lets get back to painting shall we - someone pass the gold paint

Oohh no, I hope it doesn't get GOLD added to it!!! Some nice satin black would look horn though!!!! Have you seen some of the "other" paint colours available for these types of canvas' lately??? When researching other items, namely rear shocks, I came up with Sooooooooo many different paint colours that I would love to try on my canvas. But, hopefully, becoming brain dead recently may curb my desire for painting. I like my canvas as blank as possible, but owning it for near on 3 years makes it one of the bikes I have owned for the longest period. Thus, familiarity was creeping in. Hopefully, having an alternative will alleviate the desire to blot the canvas!!!
