Taking place in the morning. Chose them over IAM because of slightly less beardy image. Hope to learn something useful. I'm taking the NC. The 9R is currently stuck in the back of my garage, blocked in by my immobile car[2]. Shit. I'm going to have to ride defensively on a machine that begs me to rev it. Still, without wanting to be a cunt, I'd like to get my natural balance back whatever I'm riding in town. The NC has encouraged me to take risks that I wasn't totally comfortable with. I hope it's not possessed. [1] I'm still trying to work out if I ride it faster, or if I ride the same as normal but it /feels/ like I'm going faster. It makes me feel like a great rider, going through London traffic like a knife through butter, and hopefully it will make me feel like a god on the twisties as well. It also makes me wonder if my 9R is completely sorted, I know it weighs much more but still... Shit, I digress. [2] Was going to change the thermostat and uncovered a can of worms.
