    Saw an indicated 200 mph in the north of the Island, whatever that is in real terms. It felt ‘kin fast, I tell yer!

    (2005 GSXR1000, full Akrapovic system, k and n air filter, re-map, 167 bhp at the rear wheel).

    Had a 5-mile ding-dong with a guy in a Aston Martin DB9.
    Murdered him!
    30-150 or so was no contest!

    So you had a good time then GSXR? [:D]
    We’re supposed to be going over for the TT next year as part of a friend’s 40th birthday bash…can’t wait! [:D]

    There’s a thin person inside me screaming to get out…but I can usually shut the bitch up with chocolate!

    Ouch, that’s fast. Not many places you can do that kind of speed. DB9 owner must have been well gutted on his £100,000 purchase!

    It felt very, very quick.

    It is the equivalent of covering the length of the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff EVERY SECOND at that speed.

    I overtook a German guy on a ZX6-R who was doing about 120 and he said later when we caught up for a natter, that I came past as if he was standing still and the noise as I went by scared the pants off him.
    I was doing about 11,000rpm in 5th at the time, not even in top yet!

    It’ll do 95/120/140/165/180/200; in the gears.

    Not bad for £9K and £2K mods.

    Have it, supercar drivers!
