Atleast this time I was patient enough to sit behind Alan for 3 laps and find a spot rather than do a repeat of my Anglesey move!

You should have sat behind him for a bit longer. Lol.

I'll be a bit more difficult to pass if I can get a bit more grunt from the old gal

Make sure I get a start then so I'm in front, I wonder if some hypnotherapy might help.

Your bike really wasnt that slow on the straights. My 2 pence from sitting behind you at Snet and now Pembrey is that your style of cornering is quite wide swooping lines and while this was suited at Snet it looked like you were going a bit wide in and out of the bends at Pembrey and making the corners bigger than they needed.

That is just my my opinion because that is where I felt quicker than you. I dont know if you could get more weight over the front to make it turn in a bit quicker?

Pembrey was my first test day (well half) and it brought my best result of the year and a lap record. It is much easier when you not only know where you're going, but you also know how to go there fast!

You can be sure to see me at the remaining test days and I intend to be just as fast.... unless it rains and then I will watch you all fron the back!

seemed slow on the woodlands straight to me as most seemed to draft past and feck off !! but point taken, Dallas said I was using too much track and while it gives me good exit speed it does open the door a little...
