Over 60s Class

58.9 - and a bit - and another bit - and...

It took a while (in bottle) creeping through the 50's and pushing the revs envelope through 6500rpm (50-55mph)to 7100rpm. 60mph. 'Nuff said.

(Mind you, cruising is 55mph because it still feels friendly)



Bob and Nigel certainly gave me some confidence in the Sanya, Phut-Phut, and I think that's allowed me to ride without continually worrying whether I used the right hammer to put the wheels on straight.

The other thing is just how dangerous 40mph on the A31 must have been. Now I can almost keep up with the average flow of traffic. I also feel better about filtering; having a little more engine speed to nip back in betwen the lines of just accelerating cars.

This Sanya is sweet - still a little small / light for 100 miles-a-day, but sweet. The sore hands, back and knees I'll put down to age which is back at the original running in figures, but also creeping inexorably to 50 and 60...
