Nogster, if my restricted 600 can keep up with Exupballsack and Kosmic on LoFos, I'm sure yours can too! The 600s corner bloody well, and their top end isn't far off the Thous. And the Thous rarely (if ever) max out on a ride.

It's a tricky one this.i'd say my normal running speed is reasonably quick & eventually if i stick to this pace i become comfortable & smooth & gradually i can increase the speed in small increments & keep smooth...if i have to jump up to chase someone i soon come out of my comfort zone & it becomes less enjoyable, after a few corners ill usually recognise this & back off a little.

I did it in scotland following the old man when he upped the ante the sly old dog, so i backed off & would soon catch up anyway but i still kept the fun factor. It sounds like slim nick & co did exactly this & im up for that type of riding. With a large enough bunch of foccers we could still end up with a few different packs but all end up at the stops at roughly the same time plus stop too much bunching up. 8)

Nice one Bill, so those cameras do the trick then without costing the earth.

It was interesting to see just how much your swing arm was working on those roads.

Oh & the noise!!!!....i do recognise that noise mr Blue Flame, so do the residents of Aberystwyth! :evil

Re: Next Wales meetup - slimwilly - 27-08-13

Now i have worked out the edit bit (i think) and the YouTube bit i can try a bit more.

Re: Next Wales meetup - noggythenog - 27-08-13

Gotta get myself in one o these there video thingys.

Not falling off though :rolleyes

I reckon i could get my finger in a glove now.

But the foccin bank holiday post means i have no bike bits.

Stand by for some bling when im back out!

Re: Next Wales meetup - slimwilly - 27-08-13

Also i have got a new tyre ordered and will be fitted fiday afternoon,ready for the trip to Silverstone.
Happy now, i can rest,,haha, at least it made me steady on Sunday.

My biggest fear was being pulled by the police then getting points for a defective tyre,then them taking it off the road.

Got away with it though. Smile

Re: Next Wales meetup - nick crisp - 06-10-13

Not a definite decision, but if the weather's good next Sunday (13th Oct), might be up for another of these. As the days are getting shorter, this might be the last Wales one for me this year.
Any interest?

Re: Next Wales meetup - red98 - 06-10-13

might be up for this.....need to earn some brownie points in the week and also keep an eye on the weather Wink

Re: Next Wales meetup - Dead Eye - 06-10-13
