Yip worked out less than twenty to gallon for me too .. Bike was needing it !! Id say you weren't that reserved !! You weren't hanging about lol ! .. I wonder if mario nava is still making carbon fibre fairings for the track for the vtr ???!!!
yes the advice was very much appreciated .. in fact I might head out tonight round the twisties !! Although I have to say my thighs are aching from squeezing the bike and holding in the corners !! .. Feels like ive spent the whole night shagging a new girlfriend !! Haha !

Hello folks

I just thught I'd paste a link to a video I made of the trackday discussed here. Fantastic day at Knockhill, thoroughly recommend it on the storm, such an easy bike to get fun out of on the track.. Several of the other guys on similar age blades and other 600s were quite impressed with the grunt of the vtr out the corners ..

Enjoy !

Cheers

cheers guys .. I just used go pros own mounts and clevises .. but I don't have the latest tighter fitting rubber inserts to help reduce vibration .. our could have been better .. have now got RAM mounts for the gopro they are totally solid zero movement and infinitely adjustable .. !
