New personal best

So, I pulled onto the dual carriageway from the roundabout, and it was
nice and clear, and I knew I was in second, so I just rolled off and
cracked it again and the front floated up beautifully, and just hung,
and hung....and then I snicked it into third, and it stayed up, and

mostly if the pressure is on the peg rather than throwing your body left
by yanking on the bars.
Then again, after spending a day lofting monsters on a B12, the best
I've managed since is an inch or two popping it into second I'm possibly
not the best person to comment.

The solution to your problem is self-evident, dear boy.
Buy a Bandit 12. Live a little. Loft a lot.

Women are odd, aren't they.

yes, it didn't put her off riding with me either. I suppose I should do
it a few more times.

I hang my head in shame at my efforts.
Cammo take note.

I think 5 mph is my fastest and that was by accident:)

You are a total disgrace.
Well done.
