yeee ha Rattler ... but its the learning of the zen art of cornering thats the most expensive bit .. by the time you've tweaked yer machine (mag wheels, 54mm zorsts, donut holder etc) been on yer race school (CSS, ESS etc ..) and then binned it pushing the limits of your new found but yet conquered craft .. it all adds up, no wonder Mr R1 just says sod that ... buys this years bike, does 160mph down the nearest dual carriageway then brags about it at his wednesday night meet ... leave him to it ...

And if you are getting the best lap times you can (stay out of this bit weeksy ) then why are you bothered about catching the R1's and Gixxer thous ..???

You going racing ..?? or learning to ride quickly .??
