Mark you were missed at Pembrey, you would have liked the circuit as it is all line of sight with nothing hidden by the crest of a hill.
as with Rod a few simple changes to a standard bike can easily improve things so if you need any advice frrl free to call, email etc

Thanks Kev I would have been there if funds had allowed but unfortunately not to be!
I'm sure I will be in touch over the coming months for advice

Thanks Mykal really looking forward to next year, hopefully I will improve the bike a bit over winter and improve me a lot more next season!! I was hoping to get a track day in before the end of the year I will have to see if there is anything going on at snetterton?!

Now this is where Mykal can help he made some worthwhile improvements to his bike in the second half of the season
Raising the rear, dropping the front and setting a steeper Rake angle to help the bike turn.
Single rate fork springs are always worth having as the weight transfer isn't as violent under braking which helps with corner entry.

[Jacko748]

They are the things I was thinking about Kev I will get my suspension set up and change springs for my weight!

Or just grow a bigger pair and throw it round the corners.



Only took me 5yrs!

But some of us will as usual, remember to look at the race bike for the first time a week before the first meeting next spring and panic.
