They do say that 90% of all accidents happen within 1/4 of home.......
I took the 888 up to Croft (300 miles) for its first trackday with its 916 motor, nice shiny single seat (that's another story in itself), hi-level microns etc etc.
Bike went great,warped a disc and shredded the rear supercorsa but brought bike all the way home safely on the trailer........and dropped it off of the trailer in the driveway.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moral of the story is: keep the bike 1/2 mile from home and everything will be ok!
