A couple of lads on their "superbikes" decided to show me their heels today pulling away from the lights so for the sake of the old bikes modesty I opened the throttle a tad and we all shot off together.
Now this is not the 1st time that I have indulged in quick starts but here the rub :- at the top end of revs in the 1st few gears the old lady seemed to run out of power ( I obviously don't open her up enough).Is this the famous 7% power reduction or was I hooning it too fast?
