I learned that day was dont even think about trying to outrun a lardy tourer ridden by the plod - they are much nimbler than they look and with teh right rider, they do it with ease.BTW, we were doing 100+ where conditions allowed.

Anyone else making their poor old bike scream?
My observer has made it clear that I'm not to break the speed limit except in exceptional circumstances for my safety.
That said, they do want me to get up to speed pretty quickly. According to the book, acceleration should be "brisk and business like" and I'm being told to get up to speed more quickly!
Anyone else making their poor old bike scream? I'd have bought an R6 if I'd wanted to scare pedestrians.
