Paignton bike night again. Several Fazers in attendance including a weird mix and match blue/silver thing. Most interesting was the run home.
Being a born again biker I've been having slight confidence issues with fast bends. Not any more!! Had a ZX9R (I think) and R1 come up behind me. The Kwak passed me and I sat between them for a couple of spirited miles. Fun but I was worried I'd do something stupid and cause the R1 a problem. I waved the R1 passed as we slowed to go through a little village. As we left the village they "went for it". Now I only had to worry about myself I tucked in behind them for the next few miles an "went for it" as well.
Had a MASSIVE grin on my face when they finally pulled over. They were opening a small gap on the straights but on the brakes and bends I reeled 'em straight back in. Superb.
got a thumbs up from them as I went passed.
