Welcome mate :occasion14:

I'm getting the hang of it, ive sort of loosened up, moving around a bit more seems to do it- bike is sort of interactive - still aint really up to actually using what its got (big surprise there then not) afew seconds here and there strung together. The bloody thing has turned my favourite bits of road into strings of enormous braking zones. Struggling with brakes a bit, they work great but I seem to be running into corners a bit - I leave a safety margin then use it up - it picks up so fast in between that its tricky loosing it in time for the next one. On the plus side Im having no problems pointing it in the right direction - or should that be "I am very priviledged to be experiencing the precision of a genuine track tool" sounds better. Cliche goes where you point it actually means something to me now.
Anyway, the forums little secret is out -this isnt actually a road bike at all - tee he he
Well maybe not tee he he, more of a Whooooaaaah Haaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaa
I imagine each bike saying to itself as it comes off the production line Oh for gawds sake please gimme a decent rider, I aint been born this way to fart around pottering with an occasional girly squirt...
Sorry girls not meant that way
GRNINJA:
not that I am telling you how to ride but rather than going break neck speeds then having to brake hard.... try keeping it slighty slower then carriying the speed in the corners......
I have started to pre empt every corner with progression and smoothness in mind ..... will get to the race braking once I have the cornering speed of a racer :icon_thumright:
these thing handle like a 600 might as well corner on them like a 600 too :headbang:

Nice one, it is by far the easiest bike Ive owned to turn - youre right I should work on using that more.
Andy J:
and probably the easiest to get carried away with that superb vicious addictive power delivery too [whistle]
Like G says keep the speed to a relative constant and it's bloody brilliant but it's also sort of like having a pint of your favourite beer and not getting pissed on it :roll:
