Very impressive shots Jack. The definition and sharpness when you zoom in is stunning. Obviously you use some serious hardware and know how to use it (y)

(rain) It was monsoon weather at Cadwell yesterday, & even my wets gave up the en-even battle to keep me safe.

I knew I was getting cocky, 'cos I'd passed the IXION instructor & was playing at making little rooster-tails with my knee sliders.

Then the inevitable happened. (nod)

Full pelt down Park straight, through the puddle at the bottom, up to the crest still WOT until the II marker. Hard on the anchors, hit the apex for Park corner, throttle a little too aggressively towards Cris Curve & the back let go.

I have yet to review my Gopro footage, but currently that's how I remember it. :^

I then had to endure a procession of all the riders who had braved it out there with me, riding past under the red flag & laughing their cocks off.
I'd swear ever single one of them was shaking their head condescendingly as they passed the scene. (facepalm)

110 that's some entry speed i was amazed how fast you could go Into that corner. On the master cylinder I'm sure someone else will know a good place to get one from bought mine years ago there's different ratios you can get I think 19/20 is the usual. You may have to change your lines to match the angle of the cylinder but you may not also if you want to keep your brake light you will need a banjo with a brake switch in it. But there a great upgrade.
