Well almost as its still the best part of a week away
But at least the van passed its MOT this Morning and while I was out in it I took the oppotunity to fill the Jerry cans, but cheaper than last time :) Hopefully two full cans will get me through the test day and the race days

Now to attack the front forks on the bike as I ran out of compression damping adjustment at Snetterton trying to stiffen them up and slow down the weight transfer. the new tank (or should that be very old tank) is only around 25mm shorter but that has moved my weight forward and uspset the balance of the bike, so I need to redress the balance. Maybe fit a stiifer spring or reduce the air gap
Still its a nice day for working on the bike outside :)

right opted for raising the bike up the forks by 10mm so i could get some of my preload adjustment back and also decreased the air gap by 15mm. just finished putting it back together, so its still up on the paddock stands at the moment so haven't tried to see if i can notice any difference. probably need to ride it to see what difference the changes have made
