Damn, Sam! You'll be wearing Bill's old leathers soon  ;) You do look good; healthy and vibrant. Maybe that Southern cooking wasn't so bad after all  ;)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

That was on a good day Cal, they aren't all the same mate.
The sooner I get my licence back, I can then get some variety into my life, that could make me feel better according to the Doc.
He has OKed me to drive but the DVLA haven't mentioned anything about giving it back to me as yet.

Nice action shot Frankie.  1.4s 60ft.   I understand that the track grip was exceptional at this past event.  Drive chains were spitting out of bikes at an unusually high rate according to the announcers.

When I changed the pilots, the bike seemed to rev easier so it launched a little different than it had before. I had to adjust my starting line techniques to control the wheelie. You can't make forward momentum while rising in the air. I could also feel some unexpected grabbing of the clutches as the weekend worn on as well which likely added to the tendencies to pull the front tire off the ground. Not making excuses, I still ran a 10.42 after this pass. And clocked my highest mph of 124 before they called the event on Saturday night.
