Forgot I rode a mates 996 for a session last year.  Missed the 1000/4 bhp but was still fun

nice vid that mark

Quality vid mate, nice riding 

 Just goes you to show no matter how quick/slow your bike is, decent brakes are a damn good investment.

  Lovely bit of film.

Thanks guys ... all rather tongue-in-cheek... my mate (who was in VDV) claimed the 996 couldn't run in the fast group any more due to lack of power (it only dyno's at 125rwbhp) and rubbish brakes ... quick service of the brakes and voila - still gets toasted by a respectable ridden thou in a straight line but it works just fine on the brakes!

2.47 gives a perfect insight into the 996 experience! wonderful chassis and cornering, but watch that other guy dissapear down that straight. nice one, enjoyed that mc101

Are you gonna use that as you excuse when you rode the 996 Mark?

No excuses now you're on the 1098!! 

[magic1]

ok, you rumbled me, i,m shit!!!

Nice riding Mark.

I remember hearing the bubbles bursting for a few that day

Agree with what you're saying but it's doing a little injustice to MC's riding methinks.

If you can enter corners at those sorts of speeds your braking distances are naturally shortened.

So,whilst good brakes are important i'd argue that the ability to ride with massive corner speed is just as important 

I know this because I had excellent brakes and still got mullered regualrly into corners

nice footage... I would love to know what you was doing at cartagena ... would like to see how I faired against you , as I had no chance keeping with you at snetterton.... but see if I was any closer at cartagena 

[gopher]

Nice riding there buddy. I could never get the rear of my 996 to follow the front into a corner, bloody thing it was always waggling round. Cool bikes though i would love a go on a 1098

Glad you enjoyed Cartagena ! 

I'm sure I've got some footage on tape somewhere from 2005 when I was there - if I'm bored at the weekend I'll try and find it and see what the clock on it says ...
