Landspeed Mito and Tank-sniffers

Ive just been talking to a guy at Sherburn Coffee Bar.
Basically he reckonned his Mito does 123mph, I told him that was very impressive and chuckled. I asked him to let me have a go or for him to have a bit of a thrash down the A-roads with me but he said he never hammerred the bike apart from the time he did 123mph.
Anyway I stood back and later observed this guy approach another 125 rider and start telling his tails of high speed all over again.
What is it with Mito riders? I reckon maybe the hunched over riding position puts their nose ends a bit close to Petrol tank and they inhale the vapours of unleaded until they arrive at their destination high as a kite telling tales of their landspeed record breaking 125's.

Anyway who needs drugs? Im off to the Cagiva Dealers

Hi

The speedo is the easiest bit of the bike for the factory to tune!

Strange thing is that the Freccias we have read lower than any other bike we clocked them against

All the best

Hi
I go there as well from York on my RS125 which i won't be having for much longer hopefully, so when the insurence comes thro it will be a trick 8) RVF400 8) for me.

I usually go down between 6-8pm on wednesdays and grab a burger, with either my m8s on a zxr400 or hornet 250. We all wear pro sport leathers and im the one with a blue AGV joker helmet.

And I might see you there this summer, if I pass my test I'll come down on my VFR400. Never been before but I've heard it is cool-loads of bikes on a wednesday, and its not too far from Donny.

I may be there this Wednesday. Are you aware the place has moved from its old location in Sherburn town?
The new place is mint, as youll know if youve been since they opened it. Theres a short stretch of road the cafe and all the land with it looks over. I went on Easter Sunday for a sniff round. It was so packed you wouldn't believe it. Thjis guy on a ZX7R was popping monster wheelies at very high speed. looked impressive.

Im a bit reluctant to go these days. I feel a bit misplaced on E reg NS125F while theres all the souped up SP-1's and stuff kicking around.
So Ryan mate you go there from York. Bet thats a nice burn down the A1 for ya. Anyways if im there this Wednesday ill keep my eye out for you.
Look out for my bike:

Yeah I went to the new place on Sunday it looks good and that road is just waiting for ppl to wheelie up it, although I haven't seen it yet with everyone there.

I usually go on the B1222 (I think thats the right road name) just b4 the fulford road meets the York ring road to sherbun, that way I can keep up with the big bikes and not get embarassed

by my m8s 400. And i wouldn't worry about haing a old NSR ive seen plenty of CG125s there which are easily up staged by anything. I'll try and get up there this Wednesday but ive got some coursework due in on Friday so it depends on how that goes.
