We are running it unpainted as advised by various good people on here so that we can keep an eye on everything easily and if any work needs doing it will be easy to do. Think it looks good too

Any news from practice

We came, we did a lap or two and went home .............but at least it was sunny

Practice went quite well for us.

1st session fine except for a little clutch slip.
2nd session fine
3rd session, OK, but strange juddering from the front end when using the foot brake, not there when i used the hand brake.............anyone got any ideas?
4th session, fuel pump died on first lap.

Aye up Bludge

1st session - only just squeezed into me leathers - bike going great, passenger familiarizing himself with the bike

2nd session - still fat and sweating more than the first time - bike great, passenger getting more comfortable

3rd Session - me- useless heap of lard, arms hurting, pretending to be okay - bike great, passenger - looking relaxed having a fun day - young git!. session stopped due to someone spinning on hairpin and dropping a whiff of oil.

4th session - dreading going out, willing it to be over soon, no body fluid left as I've sweated so much inside my 'wetsuitcumleathers', fat. unfit and feeling like a wreck. Passenger - grinning, looking at the scenary and generally chilling out!
Bike - popped the drive belt off after about 4/5laps (me thinking - thank god its over!!), nothing serious other than that it went like dream, oh yeah mate, its got brakes now

All in all a fab day, super weather, track sessions were great and had a brilliant time. Looking forward to Pembrey

Glad to hear it went well.

We have got 5 outfits booked in for the test at Pembrey on Friday and the circuit have now said they need 10 in total.

So please book if you are interested.
