...is easy:
great trackday
knee down every corner
wore out two sets of boots
crashed in qually being a tw4t on a new cold tyre
no fairing = slooooow on the big uphill so lots of effort in the corners
1 brake works great
best races ever finishing 6th and 5th - cant think of how many passes I made and times I was passed - nice to be battling with new peolpe like Jimbo
sunday even windier!!!!!
won a race :D

yeehar - Snetterton only few short weeks away

Short and sweet Paul, your going to have to get shares in knee sliders and boots :) good racing though m8 and a well deserved cup on the sunday.

Bradders steadily getting quicker but also smoother from what I have seen in practise and racing. Think you need to jack the back and/or front a touch to give you the ground clearance, then just kee nailing it!!!

Good to see you on the podium on Sunday

I told you to go flat out on the new tyre, welcome to the world of racing!
This is a combination of expense and pain, but great rewards.
Racing is a double edge sword my friend,

Worth every penny.

Yep thx for the advice Neil ;)

I need to get more clearance somehow. Chas is sorting me some of his brackets and thd bike is working well so reluctant to change the settings too much. Although £100 per pair of boots per race day may get a little expensive!! :lol:

Ahh but timing doesn't start until the end of the first lap, so technically it was the 1st qualifying lap when you had your Ooops! moment Paul.

Hey I didn't say what would happen, just planted the seed. Must have been oil on the track from that No2 bike. :lol:
