 When we came to the back straight you always left me for dead! I recon that extra grunt in the HP2S is good for at least 5 seconds per lap. I estimate you were doing about 01:00 - 01:04 when we were out on track together! Maybe even faster!

The Track!
Quote:
Well, I hope what N8 say's about the S1000RR is right, "it felt like I've ridden it before!". That would help ease in the change from the HP2S to the I4 SkRR. Othervise I think that it will take some time to get used to the new bike, but Nate was very clear about how easy it is to ride, so I hope for a smooth transition. The track is situated about 300km north of stockholm, near Sundsvall. The nearest town is Härnösand. http://www.motorpark.se/ It's one of few tracks up here, in the north of sweden. It's a bit special due to it being located in a slope. The start/finish straight is uphill and the back straight is downhill. You need to check your breaks before riding here, because it eats breakpads! This is another great track, Kemora, in Finland. It's rather close for us in the north, and hence quite popular! Kemora is where I lost my bike!  Oh, in the film you can briefly see me with my 7 month (now 9) old daughter Olivia.
