Big thankyou to Crib, couchcommando & crew.
Well I took the 583 out to Donington evening TD with No Limits this evening.
It would have been a complete and utter wate of time if it hadn't have been for Crib,CC and thier team. The bike was only running on one cyclinder and I hadn't a f~~rkin clue what was wrong. A friend of CC whipped out some tools and set about fixing it pronto. I'm very gratefull to you my friend and I apologise for not getting your name. I owe you one big time.
It turned out to be a loose connection from the coil. Thats the last time I use that T.H Performance in Surrey

Nice to meet you Jon The guy weilding spanners was my Dad...he's been an engineer (mostly on boats) all his life, so he's the first person to get grabbed when something's not working right Did you have a good evening?

Grib I owe you an apology, I've been calling you Crib and not Grib. Dom pointed this out to me by way of u2u. You still haven't told me your fathers name? so that I can thank him properly when we next meet.
I did have a good evening in all, glad I did it because I found quite a few problems. Silencer decking out, bike needs to turn more quickley, I need to mess about with gearing and fix the fairings to top them rubbing themselves away on the tarmac.

Tim you can make up for it on the 12th
