+1 from me too, have called upon said guru a couple of times myself.

Pleased to help Phil and I'll see if I can sort the immobiliser out for you at Donington.
As for your old bike in Mark's hands there is still more to come from that if he can get the suspension taylored to suit him. Fork oil and airgap was a start but rear ride height and Springs should move it on another step.

I also helped sort Chris Clarke's bike and maybe he'd be better off if I hadn't, although 45 championship points poorer.

I had also supplied Mike with a cut down harness for his Class A bike but we didn't get to see it at Cadwell, Hopefully Donington

At least this year we're not in search for Dallas's missing ponies, they all seem to be present and accounted for at the weekend

seems like the perfect criteria for a technical officer!!! enough said i think,thanks to kev and the "team "for everything from admin to botty wiping !if it wasnt for this we couldnt race .

[Spjallen]

Why was Skids being the technical officer ever in doubt?!! If any of us have a problem we nearly all go to Skids - so point proven. Could you sort out my lap times please Kev?!!!

More throttle, less brake.

Due process - even if everybody knows Skids is the man, he still has to be voted in to allow those who disagree their chance to say so.

Hi Kev, further to our chat at cadwell,got her stripped down now and as you suspected the rear piston/rings have fallen out with each other,rings have left home via a nasty little worm track up to the crown and some small bits have embedded in the head,I think that bit will tidy up with no ill effect
the barrel has small scores but you can feel em with a fingernail so i think its bye bye barrel.
the front pot appears perfect as does the piston and rings
do you have a barrel and piston and do you think I should replace the all the rings anyway please let me know what you think
Regards Brian

Or i would gladly buy the whole engine you mentioned that is minus crank
