    Just had my first ride of the year as well today and it was amazing. Made me realise that my riding was a little rusty from the 6 month lay of. Far from the slick and smooth riding i remember doing last year. hitting apex's too early is a real pain in the arse when i know the road so well

    Oh yea, these things are quick alright. I've had a 7 year layoff so a 250 would feel quick to me, but some of the speeds i was reaching.......i would have had to screw the arse of an r6 to get anywhere near, plus i had a few rpm and another cog to go at...

    Amazing day yesterday!

    Like you say, was the first day I got to ride her in anger in a long long time, such a great feeling!

    Sun was out, roads were warm and the super corsas were toasty :D Bliss.

    Give me a shout when you're out again bud, I'll tag along if that's okay, hopefully the bit of rain we've had will have helped to get rid of the salt.

    first spin out for me too today as lovely day down here. the gi pro is a god send and she sounds sweet with the yoshi can on and pulls really clean from any revs. all polished up now and waiting for the next spare dry day we get.
