I recon I hit 60mph once in top gear... must have gotten water in somewhere during the monsoon 8) trundled round, learning the track a little. Track is drying and the chequered flag comes out. Get to Brittens I think. Left... right... down. Doh!!! I didn't even have enough speed to carry the bike off the track, but still managed to bend/snap levers and pegs on the right hand side. No idea what happened but no damage to me at least so, £71, a trip from Kent, 15 minutes on track (maybe 4 or 5 laps) on a spluttering engine, ending in the recovery truck with wounded pride. Oh well, bring on Brands...  |
Sometimes like that Steve. At least you had about 5 mins more track time than me. Still don't know if I have cured the misfire but I've just booked back on at Oulton on Tuesday to find out.
