Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Nah ive done Silverstone about 20 times now, know it really well. had a good day apart from nearly getting punted off at Club corner, someone came up the inside of me at the corner then drifted out and hit my front wheel with his back wheel managed to stay on but ended going for a small diversion across the grass. W@nker !!!!Cav wrote:Good luck finding your way around the circuit Kingfixer, I got lost when I was there - overtaking 6 people around the outside of one corner using the corner entry curb and I still had about 7 miles of circuit before the exit curb to use. Vast was a word created to describe Silverstone

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
No He didn't and that's what p!sses me off, there were about 15 bikes with MSG racing fairings in my group it was one of them but it happened so quick I couldn't actually make out which one it was, they are all sprayed virtually the same colours.
They are all quite young lads ( well to me ) and fast and they just do what they want it wasn't the only crap move they did. I did complain to the Silverstone guys but like I said it was impossible to make out which one it was but they said they would keep an eye on them.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Took a ride with a buddy to Loomies cafe. Stopped off at a really nice pub and found this in the car park
Got chatting to the owner and his wife. What a lovely fella (older people, totally genuine) he was standing by his car waiting for his mates to turn up with their super cars but all he wanted to know about was mine and my buddies bikes haha!! I just couldn't believe it!! Eventually me and my buddy turned the convo around and he basically told us he was off to a charity event with his friends (something he does often) and he was very welcoming of us to take a look at his car and inside so we both took photos [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES] - it sounded AMAZING!!

It certainly is. It was lavished in carbon fibre goodness lol!! When he opened the car door it smelt brand new still everything was show room condition. He said to me to just open the door and take a sit in it I said no so he opened the door, that car must be a bloody mortgage on wheels!!

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I've been lucky enough to ride some very quick bikes in my time but the new Multi is right up there with them in the road. It's phenomenal.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
The DVT bike is even quicker.
It seems the DWC allows a numpty like me to have the front wheel skipping along the top of the tarmac at full throttle.

I was going to say by the look of that dash its my generation Multi rather than your new one!duke63 wrote:The DVT bike is even quicker.
I'm going to get a couple more rides under my belt and then fit the SCU so I can judge the difference it makes. It already feels like a sure footed beast and the lower revs but higher torque (compared to a 4 cylinder) is catching me out, it's taking me a glance at the speedo before I realise I'm going 30-40 km faster than I sensibly should be!
The new one must indeed be a beast.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Played dodge the dickhead. Two roads into my trip to work and I'm at a T junction. It's not hard, left lane to turn left, right lane to turn right. Unless you're driving a black van, then it's start in the left but swing to the right, almost taking out a scooter.
I leave the petrol station and as I overtake a car he decides my lane looks better.
On the motorway there's a 3 car pile up with one car wedged up against the central reservation.
Woman on a roundabout in the left lane indicating right, going all the way round.
It was entertaining this morning, if nothing else.
