Ta muchly.
Mallory was my first proper trackday this year on the R1. No matter how good it is on the road, on the track it was just fucking devastating.
Running some sticky tyres [pirelli diablo corsas
] it was awesome, stable enough for knee down action everywhere [especially gerrards, wazzing round at about a ton with me knee on the deck was eerie!]
had me knee down before on road & track but I smoked a set of new sliders in on day at Mallory!
never ever thought I'd do that & to be honest it was one of the best days of my life.
Me and a mate who's an advanced riding instructor [on a BMW k1200s, the new four cylinder one - watch out - they motor!] smoked the entire advanced group & had some great ding-dong battles on the circuit.
As for Germany - well needless to say it wasn't knee-down heroics but we were... ahem.. shifting along - someone had obviously spread the word cos they were waiting for us... we got a stern talking to from the Fritz [they all had comedy mullets, if it hadn't been so serious we'd have pissed ourselves] but they let us go with a caution. Just as well - they all had guns!
