Out for my Sunday ride down my favourite windy mountain road when I was over taken dangerously close buy an R1 .So the red mist came down and I was OFF. Power button on I caught him in 3 corners and over took him on the 5 sweeper scraping my knee and the centre stand.(I was wearing my leather pants with knee sliders as I had Just been down the same road on my 916 duke about 2 hours ago, and then went home to get the wife to go for a ride with her on her cruiser) well he was so shocked that her waved me over and said that he never thought that in his widest dreams he would be overtaken buy a scooter. He took a photo of the bike after I gave him all the details about it he left still shaking his head.
I know what you are all thinking an R1 against a 650 Bergman how is that possible well there a lot of factors that need to be looked at
1 I know the road like the back of my hand
2 all the corners are no more than 45ks
3 short straits
4 I have done track days on my Bergman and have a racing back ground
I am always I awe of what this bike can do
The wife caught up with me and just shook her head and said you just had to do it didn't you
well I said a challenge was thrown down and had to be answered
