What a great trip. The roads are top drawer, and I can't believe how the car drivers can't wait to get out of the way. I saw about half a dozen almost put their cars into the fields just so that we could get past!!
Even when we screamed up behind a copper, he did the same and waved us through!!

Learnt a lot from the other guys as well. Had chats over a few beers every night, then I put into practice what I was told.....and it works (There really is no substitute for experience), apart from a couple of scares. I really got the hang of braking hard with both brakes, only to release the front and push on the bars to "get her over" (sorry, a holiday term)... a great feeling when you get it right round some of those bends...the surfaces are just so good..........

Oh yeah, and there are no strips left on the rear!!!!


Cheers.

Cheers guys...Got some nice "scenic" photos, but also have some good video footage. Funny, but as far as I was concerned, I was almost horizontal, but doesn't look that way on the video...We blame the fact that the camera was helmet mounted and not on the fairings!!!
