Default My first win on the S1000RR

This sunday I won my first race ever and had the plessure of standing on the podium for the first time in 4 seasons

It was a wet race and I belive the S1000RR helped me a lot, although I think most of it was in my head, trusting the bike and riding smooth.

I had set the mode to Race because Rain is to weak on the straights and in Sport the TC cuts the engine to much even in a straight line. Race also cuts the engine in all gears on the straights (even in 5th gear!) but it feels a little better than Sport. I'll try Slick mode in rain some day

Some pics:

Congrats Stockholm!! Racing -and winning- on wet is only for braves!!!

Let me ask you the stupid (but 100% serious) question of the day... does that suit still wearable after the champain bath? (or whatever alcoholic drink it was) or will it stink to alcohol forever?
