Agreed. 900SSs can be buggers to turn in if you're carrying a bit of speed. A gentle drag on the back brake feels like a much more stable way of knocking 5mph off on the turn-in.

Besides, my front diablo turned into a blistering, greasy, liability at Snetterton, causing a lurid 10m front-end slide into Russell (sheer incompetance on my part), so I'm learning to take it easy on the front......

And Ruth would never part company with any of her new love. Just as well I know where she lives then.

Cheers,
