I saw you sitting on your bike and wished you luck just before you went off to the holding area.
You’re a star

Aww thanks
Have to say I was very disappointed early on but very pleased when I finished and the handling had improved. More carb cleaning today as we found so much sticky sandy type stuff on the slides but it's all clean now and they move freely so onward to Mallory thursday and hopefully all will be well.

Dom - yep forks were level with top of yokes - I had 18 mill to play with on the front and then fitted the adjusters which took it up slightly more than the front. I frankly couldn't ride it like that - it wouldn't have taken much for it to have spat me off and i've never felt a bike handle so badly so i've no idea what happened there. Took them off and dropped the forks through and hey presto back to sweet handling Max.

I dare say that someone with more experience than I wouldn't have had a problem and ridden it through but it destroyed my confidence in Max and i'm not at a level where I can deal with those issues just yet. Maybe next year eh
