    Almeria

    If you haven't done a foreign trackday I thoroughly recommend it. 3 or 4 days at the same track does wonders for your riding.

    Well then .. after putting the finishing touches to the carbon tank cover on Sunday , I met up with a mate at 11 am and we didn't get back till 9 pm

    Now thats a decent ride out ... we went down the Kent coast and for a while scooted around the roads at Beachy Head . Traffic was light ... speeds were high ... great fun was had by all :Banane22:

    Almaria is an awesome track. The 2nd right over the hill into the long left hander is pure motorcycle heaven. We did a rhem racing weekend there in 09. Excellent.

    That picture was just to show body position by the way yes. Get a better idea of body position from behind the bike IMO rather than front shots.

    NT that's a pretty epic bike ride. Must have been some aches and pains afterthat one!

    looks very nice. unsure if I would get away with it. I bet your bike looks better being ridden by a woman than a fat bloke
