Nice one LMRR. Did either of you get airborne on the mountain then?
Noooo My blade got a bit upset going over it but I was VERY careful I didn’t see Andrew get airbourn either.
The only ones I saw use the mountain to its full potential was a KTM and and instructor on a R6/R1 (dunno but it was a red and white one anyway… lol private joke)
Andrew should have been fine over the mountain, the ZX7 being so front end heavy is ideal there, I should know…
Cool pics! Damn, I love Cadwell Park!
Yeah Rich, the mountain wasn’t a huge worry provided that I went up to third for the chicane before it and kept over the front. Got a bit of air under both wheels but not that anyone would notice. Quick over rev and lightening of steering, then back to earth… I was surprised how small the whole place was. Like a track on Lilliput I thought. I had a mental image of a huge hill, rather than that 12ft climb. The thought of 200bhp Superbikes going around there must be a sight to see…
I usually tried to take a tighter line through that first right after the mountain to set up for the left, that video’d run obviously was taken early in the day…
5ft 2" LOL
The seats been cut away so i can touch the floor but now i’m sat more “in” the bike so its a struggle to reach the bars… as can be seen Never seen a photo of myself riding the blade before

Love the mirrors on Andrews bike, was he really going that slow that he was using them for plane spotting or was it to see if anyone jumped him on the mountain?
Yup.
Being the brain dead monger that I can be on occaison, I completely forgot about taking spanners etc and that was the best ‘out of sight’ position for’em.
