The same as any newbie python rider, that feeling of impending doom followed
by attemptiing to not crash.  Manoeuvering room is limited on the track.  I
was much more successful at riding on the grassy area surrounding the track.

Yes, the two pythons are quite different.  The dimensions of my python are
posted on the Python web site on the Modifications page.  It uses two 27 x 1
1/4 wheels

        Steering Angle 65 °
        Trail -28 cm
        Seat Height 36 cm
        Ground Clearance 13 cm
        Wheelbase 141 cm
        Weight 17 kg
        BB height 59 cm
        BB-Seat Diff 24 cm
        BB-FWA 44.5 cm
        BB-EOS 78.7 cm
        Turning Circle 6.1 meters 

I'm not sure if the current dimensions of Jim's bike are included in the
survey page, but if not I'm sure he'll supply the details.

This race track was built for bike racing several years ago.  The surface is
asphalt, the   corners are banked and a lap is 250 meters.
