+1 deffo worth having one if there is no one in front of you. Helps you keep your pace and on test days they are invaluable.

I was convinced I needed one when I didn't have one, and after spending £200 on a GPS one, I discovered that I am usually too busy to look at it till I have got off my bike after the session.

Just my opinion.

+1 Mine is in my tool box,, can't be bothered to fit it.

I ran with a lap timer for the first time last weekend. I found it great for the test day but not so useful in the races (too busy with other stuff!)

I had a GPS one (Get MD Log or something). I would never use it in the race, but would use it in practice and qualifying. I would set myself a target time (usually the lap record) and work at getting as close to that as possible. It is nice to know you are moving in the right direction whilst you are out on track (have I mentioned I had the most pole positions last year?!! ).

I think without timing whilst I was on track it would be easy to over-ride. This way, I could ride smoothly and calmly and see the results were still good (I find if things are flowing well and you are going quickly it can often feel slow, so this way I had an actual measure).

Thanks guys. We're is the best place to mount them? Top yoke looks simplest?
