At our TA2 Cadwell trackday, a bloke on a 748 came flying past me on the start/finish straight when I backed off for a yellow flag and was 75-100 yards in front of me going into Coppice. I managed to catch him round the top end of the circuit and took him round the outside at the Gooseneck and down the hill towards Mansfield. You know who you are

He had the inside line at Mansfield and took me back, but that wasn't the point, I had reeled in 75-100 yards on a bloke with 20 bhp more than me within half a lap, so a good handling bike will make much more difference than the extra few horsepower of a 620 or even 675.



You forget the bit about the 748 rider backing off when he spotted the flag and let you go back past him.
