That's Lorne Baker probably doing 209mph. Not sure where but I thought I'd post a pic of the maestro in action seeing as we were talking Busa's

I know Lorne , a nice guy , he had a gixxer thou go 198 last time out.

The tail winds were of Hurricane proportions , I was the starter on all of his runs at Woodbridge , if i remember correctly , at the previous meeting without wind , he went 199.?? more than 6 times , just couldnt break the 200 .


Heres a shot of mine doing proper stuff

Yep, 199.8mph or something like that on the last run - He works down at the Motorcycle Centre in Brighton. Did my last MOT and fitted some kit to my bike. Really nice bloke

Just bought some Hein Gericke all weather stuff. And a back protector you'll be pleased to hear Dan.

I don't expect I'll be going up to George White to get their Rukka stuff now. It was rather expensive, and the HG stuff has lots of warranty on it too and seems to be made out of the same stuff. And they gave me a 10% discount.

Rukka is a nice to have but I wouldnt buy it outsides of a 30 % discount sale which you will see around .

HG will do the job for you , if it doesnt , take it back .

How have you managed to fit a back protector inside your leathers
