United Kingdom	How can anybody really answer this question honestly unless they are really riding gods. who can and have taken their bike to the limit knowing that they have and couldnt take it any further. Idont know the absoloute limit of my r6, but i know its bloody quick. the limits of my bike im not sure, my own limits......normally about 50% each day going to work, on a blat out up[to about 80% and on trackdays....well cadwell i was pushing about 100% my limit towards the end of my last day there.. The day i can take that bike to its limit and back knowingly, well if it happens i think ill be making a major career change!lol --

I asked the course director if I would get points off for scraping a peg around the 90 and 135 degree turn....he told me go for it as long as I dont dump I'm ok. first time I ever scraped a peg doing under 35. made me get more interested in going slow but tighter in the corners that seeing how fast the bike will go. --
