"IT FEELS LIKE I'M ON A 1000 AND YOU'RE ON A 600!"
Had I just turned up to a sunny springtime BrandsHatch, armedwith a shiny newGSX-R1000 and no real plan other than to just go round as fast as I could, then Iwould have burned through a tank and a half of the Suzuki’s fuel and that would have been the sumtotal ofmy achievement. The trip homewould have seenme essentially happy and aching in equalmeasure, but that happinesswould have been tingedwith a touch of frustration knowing that I hadn’t really got themost out of a precious day on track. You see, I get into a groove, which is a decent lick, but pushingmy pace on further is something that I just can’t bang down the door on.
