Had a good day, did 3 1/2 sessions. Sorted my front pre load and re aligned my gear selector as I kept missing gears first session. Got a feel for how the bike leans and brakes so very happy, oh and I didn't bin it. Was a weird day as the inters was full of very varied riders some of whom I made some very naught overtakes on oops. I still need to get my head around how the bike revs as the 600ss reved to about 10k but the 800 has a really big rev limiter kick in at 9k but the torque from 4k upwards is amazing. I kept hitting corners too high at 6k, or way too low so need more time on the bike before the race season starts.

Neil I have a pic of you behind the 848 you where following for about 4 laps, send me you email addy.
