*Big* first gear, but otherwise ok., I was into the first ZXR750's at the time, and I liked them better. And the FZR1000exups too...heh
I hope you were wearing appropriate safety equipment, Paul. Actually, you're now my hero, I think. So does that mean I'm a safety nazi **** by association?
The 150 N life vest kept getting wedged between the sides of the bath, which made getting in and out difficult, so I gave up and started taking a shower. Then I read about the number of people killed through slipping in the shower and fracturing their skulls... I'll chalk that up as yet another insult, by association, I have earned from Bear.

John Munro says... Not ridden an OW01 yet, but had a 25 mile ride of an RC30 to help a mate run it in before he race prepped it, and ridden numerous 748/916/996/998 variants. The RC30 was sublime, I loved the Ducatis too. My boss has a brand spanking new OW01 sitting in the showroom doing nothing. Another mate has a rough and ready track-day only OW01 that I might be able to blag a session on, if me and him meet at a trackday sometime and swop bikes. -- Lozzo Track pixie GSX-R1000 K1 I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up to a floppy disc that's around here somewhere.
Yes, a shower mat, but I've just thrown it out because on ukrm advice I'm switching to wearing my old Arai and a full compliment of back, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and shin protectors. Keeping clean can be a risky business, you know. ;-) It was the "by association" that I used to make the link back to me: Blaney associates with, so does that make him the same? I know you don't throw insults around frivilously, which is why receiving one - even in an indirect and unintentional manner - is all the more rewarding. )
Paul Varnsverry says... Christ, I've been rewarded many times in my life, but I wouldn't count having any insult thrown at me by Bear as one of those times. -- Lozzo Track pixie GSX-R1000 K1 I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up to a floppy disc that's around here somewhere.
Well, Bear always says he admires the way I can tell someone to f*** off without appearing insulting.
I've moved on from telling people to f*** off without appearing insulting. Now it's GBH simply by depressing a few keys on my keyboard... <:->
