you will love the BMC RVF, they are quality bikes!!
looks like ill be seeing you at EMRA then :D
when you out testing?????
Cheers Simmo :D
I am coming to meet the posse at the Mallory test on the 18th so if you are there I can put a face to the name and see the orange machine
The RVF is going to be pukka - Mike has really sold it to me and I am part buzzin, part scared and part in disbelief that I have the opportunity to ride it. I have never ridden Mallory so I hope to get up to the garage today and get the thing turning over at least so I have the chance to drag it to the track and learn my way around..
If not, then me and no9 will have to come and I will get a go on the RVF for a session to get my controls sorted out etc.
Whoop whoop!
@ Wull - yeah dud - it is a lot of weight to lose and should be a benefit to me for the racing and my general wellbeing. If I cut my hair I would be well into the 12st bracket..lol

It does make a HUGE difference. I went from 16 stone 7 (GULP!) down to 12 stone 12, also my strength and fitness are so much better and therefore makes the bike quicker and easier to handle and you dont come back like a sweating mess after a few laps!
Bike is looking awesome :D
