    Was the other side of dartmoore... Not ideal scrubbing in roads! Lol...

    They are nearly gone, but not quite.... But was a tame ride back ;) ha... Suspension needs a tweak but it's awesome, felt right at home on it!!

    There ya go col! Best I could do with a sedate ride back on 272 ;) As Dave said, his started showing wire 100 odd miles from home.... Although we did press on on Ricardo's roads ;)

    I even broke his tyre being on his bike for an hour lol

    She does look a bit lost on her own, can't wait to get the blade back next week ;)

    ha - you'd be better off concentrating on someone decent mate :)

    The old trusty blade will see me through next yeah don't you worry... but might need upgrading for 2016! lets hope Honda or Yama don't trump the zx by then and you are on out of date machinery lol :eek:

    why don't you just race next year mate? you'd be fine and would get you up to speed quicker than track days imo!

    After the weekend watching YT and Wedgie I've been thinking about a round or two next year, Oulton and Donny would be favourite so i need to see which race series goes to both next year, theres a possibility i hear that NL might be doing Oulton again as they did it last year..........
