Getting there - my 800ss minitwin racer
My race bike is nearing some form of completion although the colour scheme leaves a lot to be desired - that will be sorted later. I'm still awaiting my new brake lines c/w titanium hose fittings and banjo bolts etc (trick or wot?); uprated Showa forks with Ohlins springs and all my titanium fasteners

It weighs so little now - feels like a good deal less than my SV650 ever was so, with all that extra torque I'm hoping it's adequately rapid.

I was at Ducati John's today getting the belts and valves etc done - charged me a pittance - top bloke. Next week it's out on the track for a trackday to shake it down and check it all out as well as run it in. First race end of July, Croft in NEMCRC's minitwins & open classes.

Looking good!
What sort of budget you looking at running a season of MiniTwins racing and what sort of track time do you get compared to the 3 x 15 minute sessions for £120 we get in DD a weekend?

Cheers! I wasn't intending to because that's after my Croft meeting so, another day at Croft serves no purpose for me...I'll be doing time at Pembrey instead but, I do like Croft a lot so I may just change my mind

Wow, that's light!!!

...My coat is on already

It does look good though Nige, will be interested to hear your thoughts after you've ridden it in anger.

Nice one
