Nah, didn't even see who he was on the day ... though we did pass them on the M4 before Cardiff just that I knew it was a single

Folks might like to think it was, 'cos of the way in which he kept up with/passed so many, but that was a single so 550 - 640cc .... the bike in the clip is the 950cc V-twin - more like the Super-Duke

Was he a mate of yours moose??

Tell him next time i will ride over that "LEG" of his if he keeps sticking it out in front of me when over takes going into a bend. The prob then is i over take him on the straight and have to go through the whole leg in your face crap again at next corner.

hehe he was going quite well but I had no probs with him !

He did ask why he still had to follow me for three laps in the afternoon so I replied do 2 laps behind me and then pass if ya want !

I think my 3rd lap was to fast for him

Don't get me wrong they are fab and i would love to try it one day.

Especially gettin it sideways but it was doin my head in come the end.

Thats why i just put my head down once i learnt the track and kicked his butt.

Anyone knows him tell him i will post his leg back to him when he wants it

fookin awesome bike, tons of fun.....

just becos its capable of the things in the vid doesnt mean u are tho which is the problem with most things these days

That was me on my XR650R (slightly modified ). Was to good to meet some of you . We all had a good day..............I think. Sorry if I pissed anyone off but it does get just as frustrating for me sometimes as it does you. My bike lacks straight line power so I have to make it up on the brakes and on the exits as youre not allowed to overtake through bends on track days which is fair enough to be honest. So I get the same thing when I get overtaken on the straights cos of straight line power just to get in my way through the bends But hey its a track day not a race day so people just have to put up wiv each other really.
I raced there this weekend............race one I started last on the grid 20th and ended up tenth, race two I started in 10th and finished 6th so last race I started in 6th and finished 5th. Not a bad weekends racing at all really.

well you seem a nice enough chap so i take it back.

Like you say trackdays are fun for all and not a race.

Was a good day and maybe get the chance to kick your butt again oneday

No probs.........but if you wanna race then get a proper bike and come racing

i love the way all super bike rider hate the leg out approach

it does have a good reason though

1)puts more weight over the front wheel
2)if the bike started to slip you can dab it down to save your self, like a knee down on sports bikes
