Malcom, did as you requested, met up with a British contingent representing a
school, they brought 6 or so students ranging in age from 14-17 years. They
brought two bikes a very healthy Suzuki drag type bike which ran low 160's
(mph) and a stock Kaw ZX12R reached 190 mph. Very swell bunch, really loved
chatting with them, cocky in a very pleasant way, very much enjoyed their
company. One of the fellows name is Philip Bell, of Beauchamps Grant
Maintained School, Beauchamps Drive, Wickford Essex, Phone 01268
