so far only 6 cans of spray used!! Reckon the 10 kilos off the bike will be replaced by 11 of paint!

Feels like 2011 all over again

Mods to the bike are looking good so hope the fairings reach the same standard

By the sounds of it Lead Based paint if its going to add 11kg

Seems most bikes around here are progressing apart from mine, maybe I should get it out of the back of the van where its remained since returning from the final round at Oulton.

Stopped in at Dallas's on the way home from Kempton Auto-jumble and his bike is looking good with its freshly powder coated frame and new hand built Inconnel Exhaust and the 1098 Clocks make it look a bit more up-to-date.
The Penske Shock looks good but thats mine that I will be having back once his New Shock Arrives.

Also Had a chat with Matt Larrett earlier today and I'll be off around his place to sort out his harness in a week or two and hopefully get his bike running.

I picked up Kev Ps forks yesterday so his bike is just about ready for the Dyno

Think I'll start preping mine on March 8th

LoL Kev, I'm running with my class B non adjustabubble forks, back is a trick Maxton, but I can't play it.

Its in at JHP at present to sort a fueling map and see how many donkey's it has. But holiday looming does not allow for testing prior to Brands. So on the assumption that I had 2 DNF's at Brands last year and still won class B. Then if it keeps going then I'll be in the points. Look forward to seeing you all in the paddock, hope I'm gone on the track.

Mmm must keep that in mind, its easy to forget that a new format is in place. Conversely one must be very lucky to complete all of the races in all of the rounds. So reliability, good luck and keeping out of trouble will be the deciding factors IMHO.

[bradders]

nah - winning more than other will be the deciding factor

Mines still in bits in Chris.p,s garage waiting to be put back to gether again once he picks up the refurbed engine from Alistair on Tuesday
