The NC35 is pretty damn good on the brakes as standard, CBR600RR brakes just make it more so!

I find it funny to be passing someone who is hard on the brakes while I'm still WOT!

One time at Cadwell I was playing in the fast group with a couple of mini-twin racers on my wifes road-going NC35, every lap they'd pass me down the back (not so) straight, every time I'd have them on the brakes into park then make up enough time in the woodlands section that they'd only catch back up by the back straight. :-)

yeh no what you mean, my bikes got the same brakes

at odiham trackday they had a strait that was almost a mile long, worst count was 9 bikes passed me and the front ones I could hardly see half way up the strait, I got 5 back on the brakes into the next corner (180 degree but pritty wide) then by the last 3 corners of the lap id have the first guy to pass me, only for it all to happen again next time we hit the strait

the latest braking I saw was just before the 2 board, I was tucked in until the 1 board :up: laughin inside my lid lol

was having a great battle with a rsvr blade and gsxr750, went to see them in the paddock and they were all complaining of the "mosquito" who'd get them mid corner or on the brakes everylap no matter what they did, lol loved it

It was an "Evotech performance" bracket on the tank, one of these http://www.evotech-performance.com/acat ... _5201.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but bought off ebay.

Comes with both a short and long screw for the 'special' thread on the bottom of cameras plus a spacer block, bullet cam was mounted on top of this spacer.

It looks like this (tape is just to be 1000% sure it wasn't going anywhere, it was 100% secure even without it).

Real shame weather was crap, you get to see my ugly mug without the normal dark visor! ;-)

Camera and recorder was a Mini DVR1 from dogcam sport

It's not DVD quality but tbh by the time you've bought a decent camera, with av in that does DVD quality *and* a decent bullet cam you've splashed out best part of 700quid, for that I could have 3 camera's on the bike at this level of quality!! Plus although I would be a bit gutted if I binned it and broke it I wouldn't be half as gutted with a 700quid setup!!
