Has to be said that "etiquette" was a little lacking on the second day but no real harm done?

See what happens when ya let the rice burners on......................cement dust everyone could see that there was cement dust (in best John McEnroe voice)

I was on my R1 too on the second day Simon.

The shear power and accelleration of the R1 has to be ridden to be appreciated, but taming it was a problem at first for me and passing the DD guys on the straights at around 40mph faster did seem hairy...

I did manage to man-handle her round but wheelying everywhere, as she does, but in the end was enjoying the DD bike so much I did the last couple of sessions on the 583 in the Inters group.

The DD bike are a real hoot to ride, try one.

Fair play to you Simon for putting your hand up and apologising I suspect(know) that you weren't the main offender. Case closed.-See you next year, on a Duke perhaps?
