I am looking at a 749R as you know, maybe I should up the ante and go for the "cheaper" 999R option !!!!
- sorry, market forces and all that!!!
Having spent all day getting trounced by everyone else down the straights, it was a great opportunity to "give something back" - great looking bike - nice one!
In fact the quickest guy was a 14 year old on a 125GP machine - wet or dry he pretty much cleaned up out there. He's running in BSB 125GP this year. He had some great lines and just trounced everybody in the wet.
There was a big lad on a tatty, stock blade that was also hussling around and making it all look very easy in the wet. He was running Diablos too.
It was pretty windy and in the first bend the bike just felt like it was being washed away - I had a few hairy moments with the tyres - maybe when you're hanging off there's not too much weight to keep the traction good? The first DD wet race shoudl be a very interesting affair i reckon.
Jon - I've already turned - I'm a Monster rider you know!!!
