Hey Incy, what is the run in on your bike?
By the book I was supposed to stick to 4,000rpm max for 400miles, but in reality I didn't take it over 6 - 6,500rpm max. Just made sure I varied the speeds.
The motorcycle manufacturers prefer to err on the VERY safe side.
But that is just so boring.
I mean, it's just so degrading when caravans overtake you

Wha'dya mean "yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwn!".
7,000rpm will give you what? 90mph?
And acceleration up to 7,000rpm will certainly keep you within the law
Because, of course, you wouldn't dream of breaking any speeding regs!!!!

knowing that my friends have safely arrived in hotel in Maidstone... no reply from their room, now if I can just pry them away from the dining room, I can find out whats happening tomorrow.....
also means that Matt and I can meet up with them on Saturday as well now
I have known this family for 10 years or more and what it means to me to actually get to meet up with them again is indescribable

what made me smile today was ....
pissing past 13 other bikes at about 170mph into a right hander
then the last two getting stopped by an astra somewhere in lincolnshire whilst they were trying to catch up 
then the bomb burst when we realised they had been tugged |
