So today I read the handbook to find out why the hazard lights were flashing when I braked hard, turns out this is what it does, ie; it's meant to do it, it's quite distracting when you're braking for a corner.

That sounds a bit daft.

I bet there's a free AI tool that will remove the watermarks.

In the second one the Fireblade is about to pass me, he was a fair bit quicker than me.

I'm assuming the bike you're blocking is the Blade, cos the other visible bike is an RSV4... or an RS660

It's an RS660, he's not about to pass me, other bike is possibly a VTR1000, the lad on the RS was from Thetford and was going about the same place as me, we shared a garage with the VTR owner and a guy on a V4 Tuono, but he was in the other group.

I was about mid pace for the group, I could have gone quicker but the thought of chucking my road bike up the track slowed me down.

Other bike isn't the VTR, the leathers are wrong, might be a GSXR.

It seems to be a modern trend,when I was trucking all the newer vehicles did this,not noticed it on my SV650 though,maybe I need to brake harder. :roll:
