It's a lot more fun biking IMHO. Since I got fitter I'm able to do it I guess whereas before slobbing in a car was easy game.

its bizarre to drive it again. i mean the mw is pretty quick, but that corsa is nuts on the road. id forgotten how much of a hard time it is to drive when applying lots of throttle.

been thinking about it a bit, the right move would be to downgrade it a bit, smaller turbo etc and keep it as a road car as it doesnt need anywhere near the power it has really.

Well one thing I wasn't expecting was after moving everything and adjusting everything that the r888s would now catch the shocker. I gave some wheel spacers to a mate 2 weeks ago as well typically. Might be doing some 1/4s on falken road tyres today ffs

went to kirkbride for some drag racing. i aint done it in over a year, couldnt launch the car at all. managed a 12.4 @ 127mph which isnt all that good really, on the plus side it was a great day out and thoroughly enjoyed it.

not fancy buying a set of slicks and see what difference it would make , i would lend you mine for a run at pod but you would need to run with no wings on for them to clear

Bridle ways up fells etc generally quite fast descents or mental rocky bits. Nice change from trail centres. I've climbed up some heights on that poor bike of mine. It's done about the same mileage as my BMW has this year
