| The day started wet and miserable. Thick, dank fog seeped through the lining of my jacket while the inside of my visor misted with each exhaled breath. Rubbing a gloved finger over the outside of the visor cleared the view only for a second before the grime of the A2 closed in. Away from the Gatsos that now seem an ever present fixture on the highways of the metropolis, Honda's CBR600, an all time fave rave here at Acton Towers, was ready to be let off the leash. Cogging down into third to elicit maximum go from the 599cc lump and maximum tap from the 16 valves, it was a touch disconcerting to feel the rear spinning as it struggled to grip the tarmac. The last time I rode the CBR was on a baking hot day (hmmm, summer, remember?) in the middle of June. Leaving a photo session that had seen the bike's Michelin's run ragged for the benefit of the camera, I cogged down into third and whopped the throttle open. The result was the front wheel popping up controllably while the rider grinned | |
