hmm its been rewritten from the old one thats been floating around for years, i used to do that stuff on my 250 it was great fun up the mountains dont use the brakes just the gearbox and get on the throttle early.
Our rides dont seem to go up the mountains anymore the local establishment have deemed it unsafe
, the good news is with the older heads organising the rides theyare at a sedate pace on fairly flatish country roads so its pretty hard to get yourself into any trouble even if you do something really dumb.
