Personally I'd be worried and you ought to ride it like Miss Daisey, so you don't hurt it any more.

TBH I was amazed to be hiiting 9k in top in those conditions at the end of bently and 8k on the start/finish. And I was riding like Daisy

Think I may try a 15t front and see if it can pull...

I stuck it out till lunchtime and did 3 sessions but went home at lunchtime ish.
I did try and come over but we were all in inters i think and i spent most of my time huddled in the garage trying to stay warm.
Snetterton seemed like a really good track though, just a lot wet!!

When I raced ( I use that term loosely ) Her Paul that light would be on faint first thing on a dewy morning and on full when wet.

remember thinking the same when I saw your bike... absolutely gorgeous!

Were you the guy I asked for directions out of the carpark (doesn't bode well for racing, I know)? I was in the black CLK... nice to meet you if so. I was cold, wet and a bit miserable so apologies if I wasn't overly friendly
