Appears to have a mahoosive wing on the right and a tiny one on the left... are they 'handed' because of the direction of the track or something?

I think they're just a bit forward swept, therefore the left one is pointing straight at the camera.

It would be quite :shock: if that pitched up in novices on your track day! :lol:

I do wonder how it would impact your riding if you had the cost of chucking all that carbon down the road in the back of your mind.

Nothing, just a bike built by TGP Motoracing so stole the pics.

Not quite a bike picture, but this is one of my most rewarding days in my 15 years instructing.
My great friend Judge only had a few months to live, so some kind folk on TRC chipped in for him to to a TD at Snetterton. I stayed with him the whole day. He loved it and mentioned it often before he left us.

Almost 10 years ago :(

Many TRC folk were there including @weeksy and @Bigyin


I think Bigyin was not well, coz he waxed lyrical on TRC about my riding speed in the wet. :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Just for Skub. :thumbup: A blast from the past - Hairy Ben's (ex Bobby's) and my distinctively different 'Surrey Scramblers'. Happy days. :mrgreen:
