The guy that took this pic thought you were just some random dude. Of course he is a gixxer owner and doesnt have any friends. Lots of positive comments on another forum about your speed.

Have you changed sprokect sizes which could affect speedo reading? Cos if not thats some damn good speed around that corner

That was 7thSin on his gixxer....

I'm doing 22's around there on RD... ok, not really. Low 30's tho. And that's about 2 seconds quicker than you on your Fireblade. :)
