You don't want to mate it's mingin! Brush it one way it's dark brush it the other it's light sorta fabric n all.

Having said that the seats were really really comfy. Softer armchairy type things almost as goos as the ph1 leathers I got now.

^ He was a twat as well!

"Can I just say, before you give me a lecture, that this bike has had new sprockets, new brake discs, it's been fully serviced..." blah blah.

What a twat. Good brakes at high speeds don't stop you any quicker unless you improve your reaction times!

doesn't help if he has super fast reactions, a bike still has to adhere to the rules of physics!

Was it on here there was that piccy of the high speed bike crash the one they used for a safety demo. Where the rider couldn't react quick enough to even get to the brakes......Sais it all IMO

into the side of the polo red or the 106 black?

Anyway he can press the brakes all he wants, he will end up going over the handelbars.

But IMO 130 mph is not excessive, like the guy said you get used to that speed when you do it enough.

The red polo/golf (not sure which, they were goin faster that this guy as well tho)

He was very right in that he has more chance of avoiding summit on a bike. And I don't personally think that 130 on a bike is overly fast (under the right circumstances), as the chap said you observe further ahead to compensate, but what if the guy in the next lane 15 metres ahead pulls into your lane and you're lokin 200 metres up the road? Not good.....I mean what's between the fast lane and the central barrier? A thin strip of road yes?......NO it's a bloody dirt track full of gravel, mud, glass and anything else that's just been brushed to the side. Hold onto a bike on that at 130.
