What a fantastic weekend! about 45 triples on the 70 mile rideout, which, considering they had given out thunderstorms was impressive to see SO many immaculate bikes out there :clap: I myself just caned my newly built '72 to within an inch of it's life :oops: I REALLY need to slow down, I was doing a ton overtaking a slower bike when I noticed a bridge up ahead with a 30 MPH speed limit, I hit it at just under 80MPH under hard braking, I was still hard breaking but airborne and realised the road did a sharp dog leg left, the front wheel hit the tarmac fully locked up on the centre line and I did an instant "stoppie" followed by a tank slapper :? I had Two choices either let off the brake and face the oncoming traffic or try to make a 30MPH bend at 70+ I chose the oncoming traffic . . . . someone was looking after me . . . there wasn't any :mrgreen: The go pro version isn't half as interesting as it was in real life (I'll try to upload it) . . . . I live to fight another day :D

JP - What a great turnout; thanks for the pictures, I know it's a hassle to stop and take them whilst having fun with the boys
RB - We took a vote and all agree it's not your time yet; there are more triple questions that need to be asked and answered by you; down be so inconsiderate of our needs; slow down mate :e13
