I am planning to get up there a bit early for Nelly to have a quick fiddle. I think Nat & I will be departing off down south again by about 2pm.

See you all there,

Rgds, Rob

I should be there for about 10.30.

Blimey Keith - close call, Loris would be proud!

A tyre can be cleaned down with a spray can of brake cleaner - I've used it before when I've had a tyre with manufacturing contaminants on it. Just enough solvent to do the job + a bit of elbow 'grease' = result.

Frustrated Frank.

Good tip, I'll give the brake cleaner a go. I have to say I didn't expect to be sliding the Ducati quite so quickly :-). I'll try and get there about 11.00am.

Is there any chance you guys could hang on a bit later? I'm not sure i'll make it by 2pm although i'll try. I took my forks off and gave them to Maxton at Snetterton BSB about the stiction problem (see previousthread...)
Basically they're 42mm forks but some monkey had fitted 41mm seals and dust shields. They're doing a rebuild and i'm having stiffer springs fitted too. The springs won't be here till Friday and they'll build the forks then. I work nights so i'll be going to work Friday night, waiting for the forks to arrive on a 9am delivery Saturday morning, building the bike up then leaving (with no sleep, that's dedication for you.) But i'll probably not be there till the afternoon. I'll be gutted if you've all ******ed off *sniff*

I can certainly stick around about until about 3.00pm. Will it be a case of bringing some sarnies or are there food/drink options nearby?

I'm going to try to get up early and grab us all some donuts and biccys.

I think there is a buttie mine nearby.
