Respect

to whomever it was passed me on the M4 jn 8/9 roundabout this evening. I
don't think I've ever seen anyone ride like that on the limit on the
road before. I have *no* idea where he came from. Me and a Hardly had
just filtered up to the front of the lights, both pulled away sharpish,
and then round he came, knee sliding all the way and I could see the
back of the bike stepping out all the way around as he wound it on. It
was some display for sure, but I couldn't help thinking it wasn't really
a style suited to long term survival. He didn't have much room (if any)
for error. But then what do I know, I'm still a knee down virgin. I
certainly would have needed a major change of underwear if my back end
had been sliding like that.

 

You've not done a Botafot with Bear then?

<Waves> - That was me on the CG125 that was......

 

Nope haven't had the pleasure yet. Snot even that far away, I must make
the effort.

 

<MSOHP>

No, I would have recognised you.

 

Pretty much what I thought.

 

Or Daz for that matter. I remember one particularly quick Botafot when
I had my Gixer Thou and he had his. ISTR Oldbloke was with us that day
too and we ended up at Fox's Diner.

I was there on my Thou as well that day. I remember you commenting
that it was even cleaner than yours.

 

It was.

Indded I was, the overtaking (not by me) on the very twisty bit was
arse clenchingly entertaining, and ISTR your Gixxer threw a brake disc
bolt at someone.

Too much time to think, too little to do.

Yep, that was the AP discs, threw a disc to carrier bobbin straight at
Daz's chest. I binned them right after that and fitted PFMs. It was a
very entertaining ride, to say the least.

Not slow on the track, is he.

 

Well I've watched you race at Oulton Park and Daz race at Croft and I
wouldn't call either of you slow.

Not to your faces, anyway.

 

Maybe he eloped with Blondie?

 

Andy has had contact recently, the frozen orange address works.
