Took the MT03 out this afternoon to fill up ready for IAM session tmrw morning and on the way home latched onto a chap on a Triumph sportsbike and, as I had a spare half hour, thought I would see if I could keep him in sight over a decent 10 mile section.
Comprehensively dusted on the straight bits but I was truly amazed at just how slowly/poorly he took corners. Admittedly we were pushing on a little but I'm by no means a super quick road rider and at one stage I really had to haul on the brakes as he braked from what I would guess was well over 3 figure speed (poor 'lil MT was still winding up at that stage) to about 40 to take a corner that was 60+ with ease.
Perhaps he was running in new tyres, or maybe his white leathers and boots were blinding him in the unseasonable sunshine ;D either way that was my cue to turn off and let him thrupenny bit his way round the next set of corners......
