yeah stiff as a stiff thing!

but was good nice to have the good weather and have a bit of a go. would have been nice not to get held up by the jap 1000's all the time in the corners but there you go.

see you on the 26th.

i may even pop out on the 19th. i think a couple of others are on that one with hottrax but wil leaave it till last minute and see how the weather is.

you seemed to get settled on the bike quickly. bugger!

it felt good. cant really compare too much for now as it was chilly and didnt get a good run. not really comparing apples with apples etc. but happy with it. just myself to sort out now.

went in the inters.

should be better in the fast for sure, but we definitely have the corner speed on them into and mid corner then they blast away on the exit.

In the olden days of CB500 racing, I had to take avoiding action to stop running into the back of Sean Emmett on his Red Bull Ducati at Oulton (there was a crazy ACU test day with every bike out at once) so it is possible for Dickie on his Monster to corner quicker than even your boy Hego on a R1.

Remember, 125's are the fastest through a corner, but I think the MotoGP bikes are faster over a lap. Just.
