looks like you did some peg grinding. How did you fair against other bikes?

The Hyper went great, although Donington is a fast track so I did get taken by most of the litre bikes on the long straights. The Hyper cornered well but the ground clearance wasn't great, but I got used to not leaning it down too much (I scraped my boots and ground the underside of the brake lever down a little!). I was great fun on the Track, I would recommend it if you get the chance...
