    Awesome write up mate, sounds like your really gelling with the r6 ;) great results and keep plugging away.

    Amazing how much quicker you can go once you race ey.... God knows where all those seconds come from.

    Good job on the leathers too. Ha.... Hill 4 leather or similar will repair those no probs.

    What wets you boys running on? Don't know if it was me being more cautious as crashed on my dunlops, but didn't get the whole awe inspiring grip from the metzlers tbh. They were brilliant don't get me wrong but not mind blowing like the dunlops first time out.....

    Maybe it was donny? As it did feel a little greasy and is ment to be a little slippy in wet.

    Ill hold judgment till I try em again ;)

    Sorry I missed you guys. I watched a couple of races before lunch. I had a quick look around the paddock but couldn't find you lot. Then it started raining so rode home and got soaked on the M1, couldn't see a thing. Lol

    What happened in the race before lunch? It was red flagged after 1 lap. Sounded like someone crashed pretty bad.
