I seem to have gotten into a routine of picking up a screw or nail in the back tyre of my bike approx once per year.Had a few thoughts about the possible outcome of that as Ive been lying in bed trying to get to sleep at night. ::)


Yes. My annual trip down sarf. I'll get you one year, you bastard. ;D

an indicated 184 on gsxr1000k1 at bruntingthorpe but with lowered gearing so actual speed would be less than the usual 10% error,  140 in the 3.2

I once had an indicated 99mph from my moggy traveller back in 1969. Mind you it could have only been 98, as I didn't dare take my eyes off the road for long LOL. I've had my Omega up to 110 on the clock with a bit still in reserve, but not much IMO. :y
