hawkati Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 jaysus - ancient history. Think that was the third one i went to - september 2009? i'd only got together with hannah a couple of months earlier and so she went from never having sat on a bike to being pillion for 245 miles to anglesey! She got the mito not long after... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old ducati two piece which i wrecked at rockingham, ditto lid. Still use orange visors though - better & happier vision thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found my eyes focus much much clearer on the red shift of the spectrum so the usual grey/dark blue visor is just absolutely shite to the point of dangerous for me. ...and i cheer up instantly when i pop the visor down.* *so does everyone else!** **inevitable @lorenzo joke... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blow_away Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Cool videos Milky. Greg looks like a superstar 🤓 I tried the yellow visor for cloudy dull conditions, but found it flattened all the contours too much, kept headbutting the screen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top (9-min) video above was taken in May 2010, while the 3-minute one below it was from May 2009 *doffs cap* Edited May 12, 2020 by Mr.Incredible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time me & hannah went we stayed in tent. Hannah really wasn't happy with that - a form of agoraphobia. Second time we stayed in the back of foo & debs van, third time in b&b up the road and encountered the bovine stare of death whilst walking back from the circuit on the first night!

Damn glad to hear you're betterer. It's a Ducati of two halves. I bought it in 2006 and had to sell it in 2011 due to failing to sell my flat and money simply running out. Hannah got very upset about that and insisted that I got another so the very day I sold my flat in 2012, the moment the money landed in my account we drove to derby and bought another- same thing, 996 bipisto just more carbon bits. That's been generally abused and cared for in equal measure (some may differ, they don't know how much of the good stuff I do for this bike!) - touring, commuting and trackdays. Still got it, top end rebuild 500 miles ago and I'm in the process of tarting it up to sell since I want an 1198. Catch you at another trackday I hope?
