Lisa, I think you have a soft spot for Andy somehow

Yes good read though this month - he brought a scarey CSS R6 bike with him that I'd never heard about before. It has a set of handlebars with a remote linked throttle mounted ABOVE the screen using the mirror mounts I think!!!

The idea being to show above any reasonable speed, leaning actually does little in terms of initiating a turn. The riders present had to move hands from the 'normal' clip-ons to the hi-rise at about 50 mph and then try it for themselves - I felt a little queasy just trying to imagine doing it !!!!!!!!!!!
