Once we'd blagged/borrowed the bits (thanks Kev,Phil and Alan) we set about building it back up. Got it done by about 11 on saturday by torchlight. Got it scrutineered Sunday and griff was out for the race. That lasted 1/2 a lap as the oil cooler had ruptured and put oil all over the back tyre. We'd ran it round the paddock a few times and no oil had appeared, I guess the extra pressure forced it out. Griff was ok but the bike had yet more scrapes  To top it off he was called into race control by the clerk of the course who preceeded to give him a bollicking, apparently brakes don't fail in 2006 (who was to know the ducati was a 1995 bike), his bike prep is awful and not up to NE standards (god help the rest of us) !!! Apart from that my weekend was peaceful and relaxing  Well done to everyone out there, DD makes a great spectacle  | |
