Besides getting it running and riding it, I have the bodywork to sort out as well as the suspension, brakes, instruments, bars, rearsets, lockwiring and a few other bits. so still a fair bit to do.

[the old man]

I only got the bike on Saturday. So far have removed all street stuff. So that only leaves:
1. fibreglass - source it, fit it & paint it
2. rearsets
3. crash bungs
4. sprockets
5. exhausts
6. engine set-up
7. suspension set-up
8. brake hoses
9. brake pads
10 tyres

Then I need to ride it in anger and see which of the above need re-doing.

But I will be there when the red lights go out.

Why am I thinking that you're missing a Ferrari and Hawaiian shirt?

I am soooo glad I'm not doing this now

More capacity Sir?

Cheers,

He wasn't saying a lot about the bike was already doing, gave me a few clues though! I got the impression Baines are supporting an entry rather than actually entering one if you see what I mean.
Does anyone want to own up

As for more capacity... sort of, but not what you're thinking - big bores on 620's are breaking them unwritten rools, and my bank manager wouldn't approve anyway!!!

Boys,

1) I am saving the Hawian shirt for Saturday evening, to match my sons taste in exotic cocktails. Elizabeth wont allow me a Ferrari yet, apparently no one needs 16 Ducatis, so an Italian car is out of the question!

2) I can confirm that the Baines brothers are preparing a 620 Sport for one of the entrants in the series. Also that following the rumours of last week we are sure that the bike will be fully legal and have about 5bhp above the std power level of other standard 620s (i.e. as delivered from the factory) that we have seen on the Dyno aready.

Whatever the score is with Baines, they were very helpful today... especially since they've got their own interest in the series.
I'd reccomend their services.

And Chris, nobody needs an excuse to have 16 Ducati's!!
