haha, i'm infront - thats what counts! When you get the Blade you'll bloody love it! It is harder to get it over in the corners though, I have an SRAD 750 which i find much quicker at turning. Not many - i've only been riding 2 and a half years! That was the first time i was in a fast group so was a little scared at first i must say! But then once your in the groove it was fine. I think You, me, the red and white R6 and one of the Beemers were normally at the front. No, not noticed other post yet...let me check...
I am not being disrespectful to the riders at Odiham but the majority of that fast group would be low to mid inters group at any mainstream trackday and i think there were one or two that would be too slow for the inters tbh. My 1st trackday at Odiham i chanced the fast group with my mate and we based our decision from our road riding, i think i had only done 1 trackday prior to my 1st Odiham trackday. If you drop tour top yoke through the forks a bit more would that not help to make the steering a bit quicker?
