    Nobody's gonna look at your times, will be too busy thinking about there's. They usually just have the transponder numbers, so you won't know who's who anyhow.

    Transponders are one of the best things to have on a trackday. Not only do i believe it to be overall safer - but you can really see your improvement over the weekend.

    And as i recently learned, i'd prefer to be slower and stay upright that a ballistic missile for 3 laps and end the trip early :)

    ^ that was reassurance aimed at Uncle btw.. :)

    pre-load adjuster snapped off the cheesy HRC subframe and got wedged between subframe and tyre. Exceedingly dangerous and unknown to me i did 1/3 of a lap pouring out smoke until session was red flagged! 2 more corners and it would have blown.

    That would have had the old bum twitching that mate.

    Enough to bring on a cold sweat just looking at that.

    Bike is looking really good. Subtle but meaningful.

    Nice to meet you too mate (both of you going again ?)........ would love a March trip......might look into it.... but my gearbox is playing up (far too many false neutrals) for my liking on that trip....
    Glad you boys all enjoyed it...... did you see those race interviews from the Race for Fun ?? have a look on their Facebook site (You can still view even if you don't have Facebook account).....

    Does Von Grumbles Bike have a second set of Crash Bobbins higher up the main fairing?

    Looks like it in a couple of the pics??
