    Was very nervous, seeing as a workmate of mine died last week (in a selfish sense very bad timing in my point of view) and had very bad trouble with clutch control on the van-van so was given an extra session in the playground in the afternoon, which means i missed a chance to go out on the road on the saturday.

    So went back this afternoon to go out with Freddie and Charlotte... And had a blast! Still have issues, particularly with downchanges, but felt so at ease today and cannot compliment Able training and their guys enough.

    Varadero coming this week, have to practice WAY more but am on the way!

    Special mention to Alan, who was very very patient with me on saturday.

    Nice one pete! I had HUGE problems with my clutch control when I did my CBT and even more problems when I got my RS. I just spent about 20 mins outside my house slipping the clutch and pulling it back in so I got familiar with how it felt and how big the slipping zone was, then I just went up and down my road going through the gears figureing out how it felt and how quickly you let the clutch out after a gearchange without it lurching (very was the answer, turns out I wasn't pulling the clutch far enough in to completely disengage it before changing gears, hence the lurching :P) and I never had a problem again, when you get a feel for it you don't even have to think about it! But enjoy and hope to see you on a ride soon! Varaderos are nice and big too! Don't look or feel like 125s.
