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.

What's the story Wull?

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:
