at a rough guess, you'd be correct.
G'day blokes.  Ages since I've dropped by as I've been Desperately Seeking Elsie.  I missed the XS11 Rally as a result.  I don't suppose my non attendance caused any issues what so ever. ;D

Broadford, as ever, was awesome!
The elsie, as ever, failed.  But I think I've now got it sussed.
The XS was so scarey on the circuit that I parked it after 2 laps. I think, maybe, possibly, I had the tyres too low.  Anyway, I didn't want to bin the big girl.  Mal Pitman - who ownes the two 6 Hour bikes, one of which is a replicaand one is the genuine race bike, even positively commented on my old XS.  That was nice.

I ended up just using the 250 in the 'expert road bike' group.  Man that was fun!  Absolutely blown away down the straights by nearly everyone but passed heaps into and through the curves.  I even held my own with a couple of racebikes through 1 turn (yeah, so what were they doing in the road bike group? Who cares!  It was awesome!!!).  And Kevin Magee rounded me upon an Irving Vincent.  I can't tell you what it sounded like because he was gone before I knew he was there.  Geez, if only the rear facing camera was working in that session.  The front camera was, so I can replay it over and over.

I have done a couple of POV videos.  I really like them! 8)

Not many snaps as I was doing other stuff.

Did I mention how awesome it was?
 :D
cheers
