Took a last minute decision to celebrate my 40th birthday by taking the R out to Donnington Park for the day!

I think I was pretty lucky with having easy setup of my 1199S as the R looks like it's going to be more difficult. I knew where I should have been on the track but was not able to put the bike there due to not being used to how well it turns and not having the bike setup properly for me yet. It's an epic machine in the fast corners and gradient changes but I was suffering trying to accelerate out of slow corners due to pretty extreme head shake. Hopefully a bit of work on the rear shock setup will fix that.
