Anne - I am only traveling at 35 km per hour - so I will be an image in your rear view mirror!

I have seen the way you drive  :)

Tinx - friends here for next 2-weeks but straight over that my next challenge is to go up to Uzumlu - not sure if I should do a dummy run without Gill on the back in readiness for the real thing!!!!! :D

Hi Ian,Sorry to disagree with Kev,but the practise of using engine braking to slow down was due to poorer brake design years ago.The brakes you have are i believe disc on the front?not sure of the rears,but do use the breaks not the gearbox,it will be a lot more exspensive to rework the box than put new pads in it.Downshifting on a GP bike or a superbike is for racing advantage.

CJ - many thanks - I must admit you have about one eighth of the turning handle grip in which to let the change take place and I am a very careful driver but it is almost impossible not to jerk each time you go down thru a gear - so I think I am naturally using the brakes to stop bouncing Gill on the back seat every few minutes!
