Thanks for putting EoSM together this year, Loz.
Thanks to Mu and the rest of the team at the Black Horse, the food was
very, very good and represented excellent value for money.
Thanks to Monz for the sit on his Gixxer, it's a shame that I couldn't
even fit on it, so my dreams of ever owning one are shattered.
TOG's Trophy, dwb's V-Strom and Andy's(? Stephs other half) CBR1000
are contenders, though. RichardA's(? Sorry, I can't remember your
handle) Divvy Nine looked quite fun, but I'd never get away with a
screen that low. Thanks everyone for letting me have sit and play
with your equipment.
Thanks for allowing me to ride the CBR1000, it was great fun. I had a
go on WC's CBRat1000 @ BoSM but that was only a few weeks after
passing my test and I don't feel that I was all that hooked on bikes
back then. Now I appreciate how fun it can be, and have a better
understanding of how to use and deliver all of that power. An old
CBR1000 may be on the cards for me over the next year or two, even
though it may be a bit small.
If cash is more fluid then I may consider a V-Strom. There's
something about dwb's V-Strom that made it feel just right.

That'd be the Vee Twin vibrations going through you.
It's like an unleaded rampant rabbit (I believe)

Her mobile costs 90 quid a month, apparently. Glad I'm not paying for
it. I haven't seen her home phone bill, but it'll be just as bad.

You're welcome. You were the first person ever to ask if they could have
a go, glad you liked it.

I would have asked for a go, but you'd stuffed it full of clothing. I
had a good sit on it, though. I'd have to sit on the pillion seat to
get to the foot rests.

Next time then, it's a date [1].

If I'd been there, I'd have been more than happy to.
Oi loikes big Zeds, oi does. Windy's was a hoot; the one I wanted a blat
on was Dick Dastardly's, which had had the usual DD "mild engine
tuning", meaning that it went about 50% faster than anything else the
same.

I have to say that once a proper exhaust[1] had been fitted to the ex-
Dick Dastardly ZX-9R I owned, it was the sweetest and fastest one I have
ever ridden[2]. Smooth power and torque all the way up to 7K and then
all hell broke loose. Dick did a very good job of sorting the top end on
that motor.
[1] Not the Scorpion race can it had when I bought it. I fitted a Quill
T3 instead.
[2] I saw just under 190 on the clock and it pulled strongly all the way
up there.

Dick Knows Motors, no question.
The funny thing about him is, when questioned, he'd only ever say things
like "Oh I polished it a bit. In places."
He got within 2 BHP of what I managed with my 9R using nothing but some
advanced metalworking. On a stock exhaust, FFS. IIRC the race one only
went on later, for reasons I know not.
