More and more boxes are arriving for next year’s steed, but until then I’ve been keeping myself busy in just about any way I can. And by keeping myself busy, I actually mean that somehow I managed to blag myself into getting a KTM RC390 to ride in the RC Cup; the one-make series alongside the MCE British Superbike Championship.
