Slower bike? The GB missile has about 30BHP more than my prilla, but it was definately not slower on the day. Think I was still in trackday mode after last Friday at Donnington........................

I had thought about leaving the camera on for the ride but decided not to.........that film would have been worth a fortune. :o

Yeah an isolated incident that went on for about an hour over the roads around Burford, Chipping Norton, Stow, Cheltenham, Cirencester and Fairford.

There is only one 'throne' you should be sitting on GB :o

Would be an interesting challenge to have combined lap times for all challengers.............do a lap on your own bike and the challengers, then combine the times, then the challenger will do the same. Cuts out the horsepower debate ::)

I think Aimee would probably win cos I get the impression she is mad.

Always wary of joining groups of bikers when you don't know the standard or level of stupidity. Better to wait a while, get a feel for the lay of the land, then have some fun. Also quite happy to pootle along enjoying the scenery whilst the points on my license diminish............ :-[

Swapping bikes just wouldn't work guys......Its taken me and Rex a long time to get used to and be comfitable on our own machines.......Sure,we could ride each others bikes quite quickly i would have though but confidence in your machine is all important......And that takes time......
