Was at Brands Wednesday, along with the missfire!!!!!! Now sorted, I think.

Probably won't hit a track again now until Practice at Cadwell on Friday afternoon.

As usual it's all gone to the wire.

I saw your bike at Neil's on Friday and it still wasn't sorted so I'm glad to hear he's gotten to the bottom of it. Sounded a like a loose connection in the loom or a broken wire etc.

I'll see you on Friday :D
