You might even win a race on it - no more excuse now - mind you them tyres are a bit dodgy being Super Corsa Pros.....don't let anyone too close, eh?

I thought we could use ANY Pirellis?

*cough*

...as long as you don't get caught you can

I've just added up the costs so far...Ummmm...frightening. How does £8500 sound including buying the bike. Mind you...I suppose 3 sets of Marchesinis and three sets of forks with different set ups is a bit excessive. There's another £1k of titanium on the way too.

I would love to fit some Brembo monoblocs plus radial master cylinder but, minitwin rules forbid it. I haven't even bought any rearsets yet - just using the std pegs for the time being although I'll prolly go for some Woodcraft items late on.

It's gonna get sprayed gloss black - my usual race colours. The Benetton scheme is temporary I assure you. Out this weekend at Croft. Out again mid-July and then racing end of July with the NEMCRC.

I need to run it in first and get some set up data.

I'm still waiting for my brake lines, the front wheel bearings are to be replaced, floating discs to be put back on plus a few other things before Saturday.
