Unless Rob you are just upset because you don't know how to corner?

are you silly? that cant read what i said, look man if you want to go rag around country lanes round lots of blind bends then through the windscreen of a car thats on the wrong side of the road go ahead, do you not see what im getting at ! ?, i pay for track days the real fast knee down stuff really should be kept for the track get it, donnington is a real nice track of many the uk has to offer its not too expensive if you can afford a bike and insurance you can afford a few quid for a track day ?
thats all im preaching, cause yes theres lots of nice twisty country roads, but cmon seriously we all know the risk taking goes up when we start getting the speed up, if i cant see the road ahead, i dont play the speed game, f**k yeah if that means i only go fast most the time in straight lines ( highways ) well thats cause ive looked ahead checked how many cars etc,
f**k sake a fcuking 125 will get ya hurt if you get it wrong maxing it out down the lanes, sry if im the guy u have to stop and wait for,
i say it again if i cant see the road ahead im slowing down,
