    I personally get back on the gas pretty early of a corner, a wee bit to steady the bike, with a gradual then hard roll on. His throttle use is more like a switch! He's off for a good while, to brake and turn. Then he's right back on and hard!
    That's awesome! I didn't even know you had the ride mate, what a blast. Was the grab handle on the tank a little loose? It came off in one of his pillions hands today...

    I would have waved.....
    Yes!! The handle WAS loose. I was telling Kris and Marshy when I came back!
    I saw the crew playing with it before I went out and one of lugs bolts was loose.
    They couldn't get it back in but scrutineering deemed it ok to go out...
    Evidentally it got worse!!

    That's pretty bad. Considering any Joeblow could have done it with no riding experience.
    I actually won one as well but couldn't make it down in time ( or the 95 kg pillion weight limit) Damb Easter eggs....
