I'm trying to look on the bright side.. And if everyone drops their worst results so far then I am still joint championship leader with you and Kev... Just need to ride some luck for the rest of the year!

Remind me again why I convinced you to buy that bike?

Does that mean they have learnt how to use the dyno now?
