Something tells me Tony's tongue was planted firmly in his cheek when he made that comment Dominic.

Interesting point about the wet though, we'll have to get slidemaster Couch to show us on raceday at Cadwell!

Dragged the 996 out for Donny a week after DD. Booked it ages ago for practice but then the date got changed - so the race ended up being practice for the track day!

Interesting one this,

I was changing down one going into Coppice, but holding the thottle wide open driving up to Charlies one and sometimes going down another on the entry, changing up one on the exit of Charlies two. Slow-in fast out, maybe.

I also got into fourth along hall bends and lifted the front slightly before going into the Hairpin? for which I got blank looks off some other DD'rs.

Andy

added: Now on the R1 it was a totally different track, eg: Going down park, as soon as I saw the corner it was on the brakes, where one the 583 you was waiting, waiting....

It's weird, I do remember being flat out in Coppice last March (following Geoff's advice) but couldn't decently do it during the DSC trackday... There was always a little voice telling me "you won't go through" and then I backed off (a bit... but I knew shouldn't have).

I don't remember having made me bike faster since the beginning of the season...

...

GOT IT Now I do

Yes I did The bike went to MHP for Air Filter + Exhaust + Dyno kit and got 5bhp more (making it 49), so now I understand

Anyway, I'll have to tell shut the f***k up to the little voice in October
