I had this kind of experience about 10 yrs back, when I raced my ZXR superbike in a round of the Austrlaian Superbike Championships. I was lucky to qualify, whereas up at the front were the likes of Kevin Curtain, Anthony Gobert, and Craig Coxhell. I remember being passed by Gobert when he lapped me ; I'd come over the crest of a hill, and hit the brakes as late as I dared. He wheelied past me, dropped the front into the next corner, and just pssed off. Seriously, I wanted to burst into applause !

Excellent stories there lads,

They just dont have a 'fear' part in their brain, its not what you ride its how you ride it...

bottom line is ride within your limits, get home and above all have fun.

I can join this one  :lol:
Exit charlies two onto the park straight at cadwell. Absolutely pinned to the stop on my then fireblade. I'm flat out. Then Glenn Richards passes me so fast i would swear blind my bike was stationary. He was on a cbr600.
I am not worthy  :headbang:
