    A bit of a surprise with the MTX today.

    Great pic of the 400....its very hit and miss the Snake sometimes I think and depends on the camera angle they get you at but that's bang on that one!

    She was running out of fuel. You might not recall that flat throttle from carbed bikes. At that point I thought I was going to cut out. She’s real thirsty. I’d left home on reserve. Reserve gives around 5 miles . I’d have had her further over if I wasn’t bricking it.

    Did you take your Repsol up?

    At least you could have freewheeled back down into Glossop once you'd made the top :D
    Didn't make it up there on the repsol, hoping they'll do that nice sweeping bend on the Bakewell A6 again before the years out

    You ain’t considered the steep climb from that bend
