I suppose I should give this thread another thrilling chapter.
Let's talk about one particular chap we called CorsaBoy due to him financing a Corsa C and giving it the full Max Power treatment.
CorsaBoy used to work on the docks (Sounds like the opening of a Bon Jovi tune) and loved to tell us tales of collecting and delivering various supercars along with his stories of when he was a rally navigator and liked to tell us that he's buying an R1 when he breezes through his test despite us saying that he'd be better with a 600 Bandit. Undeterred the owner of the training school was keen to shift on his 2002 Honda Fireblade (after bodging the gearbox) and after finding out this info demanded that we give him first refusal. Now there was no fucking way we'd let him test ride it without either paying for it or at the very least passing his test first but to silence his whining I agreed to give him a pilly run on the back up the M53. CorsaBoy insisted that he wouldn't be scared by a bit of speed and requested that I showed him what the bodged Honda could do, fair enough. As it was a quiet Sunday morning I took him on the back at sane speeds around town until I hit the start of the motorway whereupon I then unleashed all 160bhp in all the gears (except the bodged third) until we ran up to about 160ish before looping a fast roundabout at junction 4 and then nailing it again of the homeward leg of our fast and very illegal test ride. After returning back to our compound I discovered to my dismay that my arse was wet through, CorsaBoy despite his demands for speed had managed to piss himself and in the process piss over me as well. Lacking any excuse that would leave him any credibility he apologised and ate humble pie for the next two hours. Eventually after passing his test, first time in his credit, he bought a GSX600F and never spoke again about his tolerance of speed.
