Mick Grant Suspension

Just had a outstanding day at Cadwell Park with Toni and Scott (racepace).

Anyway suspension setup not being my thing even though I thought the bike handled great I decided that I should let someone who know's about these things have a look. After Borrowing the money (thanks Scott) I went down to see Mick Grant. After some conversation and initial checks he stopped laughing and actually said "how do you manage to ride this bike"
Adjustments and jiggery pokery where made and over the next 3 sessions Hey Presto, I have what seems like a new bike.
Easier to ride, turn, maintain an exit line, in fact everything.

So is it worth £40?

You would be daft not to (and he's a very nice man).
Happy days.

Just got to remember to reset the rear ride height every time you change the gearing

Doubt it Simon however, yesterday was a Focused events TD and Im sure he's been at the No Limits ones aswell. It may just be Cadwell he attends?

Number on the record sheet is 07711030109. Give him a ring and see.

I did get I think its Colin from 100% to have a play with my suspension. It did make a difference.

And as it was only a quick fiddle .... he did not charge - result!

Had an amazing day with great people all around sporting ducatis :-D i never got my suspension done i was skint (thanks Neil lol) i have a lot to learn and im not silly enough to just expect to be very quick. My times wasn't the best lol. My dad got me as a 2.10 but i was slightly holding back to avoid slower and faster riders ha ha. Great day though.
