Teuful, great pics. Well done you👍

[Kiwifruit]

Great pics Teufel. You got slicks on her?

[Teufel]

Yes Kiwifruit, I do run slicks at the track. Do you?

[Kiwifruit]

No don't have slicks, Michelin Road 5's, read an article that said the shoulder compound on the Road 5 was the same as the compound of the Power 5.

I'll bet you scared some of the young blokes on their pocket rockets @Teufel

Can be a strange reaction you get from some when you front on a 1400. Especially one fitted with pannier and top box brackets.
Ones l keep a wary eye out for are the middle aged fellas with brand new leathers, helmet and boots riding brand spanking new sports bikes. Been at a track day when a bloke left his brand new Ducati on the ground in the middle of some esses and another guy destroyed a near new R1 at the end of the front straight. Same day one of the surprises for me was a bloke on a 600 who had his missus on the back, she held on to a handle mounted like a tank ring, he could ride.
You should never judge a book by can by its cover.

I rode in the fast group for the first time on the 1400.
I managed to pass a couple, but it's still a bit lonely, so I went down to the B group to mix it up with the "slow" guys.
Now THAT was fun.

To anyone else reading this:

Have a crack!
It's fun, I promise

The racers don't like it when an old bloke on a 14 pulls away.

Great piccy Snapey👍

[DP1400]

Thats an impressive angle you`ve got the old girl working at there Snapey 

[GSXKING]

Would have been hitting the hero Knobs on the footpegs at that angle

They don't last long so I just take them out.

Mate up north, 100 corners up the range in 10 ks, fitted titanium nobs to his just for the light show.  Sure was impressive at night.
