So looking forward to the first official run out of the class A bike for next year.

And.....Bike doesn't fire....Sat PM or Sun AM.

Thanks to ALL who helped to try and get me going...

DAve P - New plugs - no charge
Mark - New Relays - no charge

The efforts made by everyone to help out another rider was great. Especially considering I was outspoken at the riders meeting?! When the bull.... clears everyone does just want to race...so THANKS.

..and to the many others who eventually got it sorted...to late for qualifying and too late for our New Era friends to let me out at all.

Diagnosis - faulty relays - fuel pump not pumping or no spark depending on which relay was swapped!

I would have really enjoyed testing the water with the class A runners, I'm sure the bikes fast enough, but what about me???

Is it March yet....

I have to say a very big thankyou chris.
I am the very fortunate person who benefited from your bad luck, as I was the 1st reserve who got to race when they wouldnt let you out !
It was actually very spooky being part of the outer ring of people surrounding the bike when it wasnt going, trying to be helpful, but thinking 'oooerrr what if' !
I had an absolutely storming couple of races, doing the same thing as on saturday, and going just as well on the 583 in the afternoon as I did on the 620 in the morning :)
Is the deal done on the 583 ?
You might want to keep it ;)
