I had a really good ride today. Just 130ks around Pukekohe. There was a few sections that were like chicanes and I hung of the side of the bike a bit. I felt like Rossi. LOL. Was great fun.

I wasnt going fast at all, Im not talking about speed. I did have a laugh at myself.

When you're in the groove and the tyre pressures are right, its great fun. There are some days though when it just doesn't happen, for whatever reason.

Funny you should say that about tyres, I put mine up and its a lot better.

The first time I hung a long way of the inside of the bike she turned way faster than I expected. Had to correct it.

Put a jack up link on the rear of the bike and do a track day. Steering is much quicker and you'll be sliding the rear tyre setting up to turn the bike in... Well that's what I did last time, gives you a big grin when you hear the rear chirping and jumping around and you stuff the big heavy Bandit into the corner and overtake some R6's on the way out Very Happy
