Neil Appleby went there and either he couldn't understand what he was saying or he felt sorry for him because he welded him up an entire moto2 bike for a half eaten bag of Hovis and some bricks.

For yor information it was Nimble bread to safe weight.

Nimble...only someone that genuinely eats that would know the name. I'd forgotten about that...I love nimble.

It's not doing your Northern hardman image any good though. I have an image of you with buttered nimble toast and earl grey in your conservatory at breakfast.

Lol cheers for that Kev, made me feel old. But when I watched your link I noticed the Cadbury's Smash advert. Now that made me giggle back then as it did now when they all titter at the end.

I have a feeling that I might have been subsidising just about every other customer!

Not ever bothered by getting beat by Ghosts bike, it's one of the lightest and most powerful bikes on the grid built by the rider for the rider! Plus he is pretty handy himself! All I got done was having my exhaust moved under my seat and fairings fitted, nothing too motogp or anything!

Also bear in mind I have used a one sprocket fits all tracks approach this season. That last test day made a difference to my result at Pembrey, next I might fiddle with sprockets!

For Cadwell Hugh, I reckon you need a 16/27.

You want to do moe than just fiddle with them, you may find changing them will help , bet Harriet had a gearing chart for that bike for each circuit, would be a good starting point
