Sorry!! I thought photobucket resized them anyway? Weird!!

Nice pics, you need to get your arse off the seat a bit more though. . . .

That's very true! I think I was getting my arse off it a bit more as the day went on, but they stopped taking pics in the last few sessions to deal with the queues of people wanting to buy pics! I was riding like the road rider that I am for most of the morning!

Still had a great time though, and was as quick as any of the other 600s in my group.

Anyway, I'm now selling the TT to a mate and going back to 1 bike, which will be the VFR until I've been to Le Mans and back and turned 25, at which point I've decided to stop changing bikes so often (had 5 in 3 years so far!!) and get one bike which I'll invest in - current plan is a 2000/1 R1 which I'll then add bits too - rear sets, bar risers, double bubble, etc, and eventually it'll evolve into my perfect road & track day bike!

Don't worry Mike....Dan has an obsession with seeing men's arses out of their seat.

Dan Hale

Whereas San prefers them in his lap

My 749R arrives tomorrow!

Can't wait..... hopefully get some pics up tomorrow night!

Dan Hale

Good stuff.

Now, can you get it to Spain by Monday?

What sort of mileage would you folk expect to get from front brake pads on a sports tourer (ridden fairly gently, never tracked)?

My ABS seemed to be kicking in a lot on a recent trip to the Highlands, or at least that's what it felt like, and maybe was not braking hard quite as well as normal.

It's currently on 12k miles or so, on the first set of pads.

Dan Hale

Mmm, to be honest, I'm not sure.

I *think* my last R1 was on its original pads when I chopped it in - 10k miles.

I could be lying but I don't think so.

That included quite a lot of track days - say 10-15 days on track in that time.
