Now the last time I went the Novice group was flooded with race kit and fast people who had overflowed from the other groups.
This time the Novice group I joined was full of real novice and slow riders. Myself on the Falco, my brother on the ZX6 and some Scandinavian chap on a race-prepped gixxer6 hire bike were so much faster we pretty much lapped the entire field, some of them twice...
This included a Mille and another Falco (nobody on here, I checked :) )
I had some great tussles with that hire bike. Either He'd start fast due to having tyre warmers and just disappear but then I'd real him in and get by a lap or two before the finish - or we'd just spend the entire session swapping paint :)
And finally got my knees (both of them) down! Session 3 I just shifted over on the seat an extra couple of inches and stuck my head somewhere down where the wing mirror should have been and was greeted with a very satisfying scrape.... once I stopped giggling to myself almost all the right handers became fair game... and then one of the left handers (there's only 2, effectively).
My brother now thinks I'm insufferable because I got my knee down and he didn't and I won't shut up about it
