Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

spoke to chris today,

he said the pics could possible be the best theyve taken since the mag started, and although he's given a good write up, he's also added what
could be done to round off the edges of the build so to speak
most of them i've done already but still cant wait to get hold of the mag.

i've got dunlop qualifiers

and am impressed with them so far :nod:

warm up time is quick - not the stickiest tyres i've ever used but

is good enough for a scratch in the countryside, edge grip gives good

feedback and when your pushing it and it does let go front or rear its

predictable and controlable
