Had a really good day. First time round Brands - 7 sessions, perfect weather and great company - big thanks to Monty.
No times for me in the novices (and no fallers in the novices). I did discover (thanks Mutters) before the last session that the 749 has a lap timer if you press the start button, but I'd only have confused myself, so I didnt.
Rally's DD bike was going well until the engine went in some sort of expensive way. Hope it gets sorted soon.
