Valentino, ha, taught him everything he knows, or not.

Would you believe I'm that good that I don't need wet's, no, hmm, how about about full slicks on a damp track, no, bugger, alright then grooved slicks on what turned out to be 3 full dry sessions, I was cooking them (as you do) in anticipation of a dry run. :D :lol:

That was it's last run, the f*#@*&g osteoarthritis has won, and I'm conceding defeat. :mad:

And thank you she is a purdy thang.

But I'am seriously looking forward to this thread being updated, you've been pretty quiet for awhile :choo:

I've been wanting to go for a couple of years.It's a good excuse to get the Sport and MHR up and running ( and lose that 30kgs so I can get back into my leathers :dunno: ).

Cheers

There's a lot to be be said for a bike as wide as Kenworth going into T2 at the Creek :truck: Muwahahahaha :beer:

What was even funnier was the young guy on the R6 tracked me down in the pits to tell me he couldn't beleive it when I outbraked him and then stuffed the BM up the inside of him on that corner, and asked for a riding lesson :lol: :lol: :lol: true story :thumbup:

The Triumph rider didn't see the humor or irony of it, go figure. :zip:

Those days are well and truly over. :,(

May yet still end up with a Paso to replace the Sport, you never know. :shock:

Cheers

The R65 had a small fortune spent on brakes, twin floating disc conversion,(they were single standard solid rotor std.) braided lines etc.
