Hope to see some 400's down this year, my bike has been fired up for the first time since it threw me off on the M6 in september 2014...fitted new tyres, new rear brake disk, new fork seal that had developed a leak, new handlebar grips, and hopefully ill have my fairings back from the spray painter soon...time is ticking away, was hoping to have it ready and MOT'd/taxed for wsb in a few weeks, cant see that happening now, but ive got my pitch reserved at motofest, the bike is starting to look good, but the rims are letting it down, so when my panels come back from the painters ill start enquiring about getting a colour-matched powdercoat for them...

that was an awesome event :D

not only did i get to push around the £1.8m aston martin vulcan, but on the last day i took me and mywife trackside and watched it unleash 800bhp from 4m away...damn that thing is loud! its 105db on idle!

all motorcycle bits went off without a hitch, am sufficiently tired and sunburnt, got even more things planned for next year, dates have already been announced for next year (3rd and 4th of June 2017)...ill be down on the bike, so lets try and get some more zxr400's down for then...you have 1 year to prep your bikes, i consider that sufficient fore-warning :D

Would be excellent to get some Zxr400's down...had a few hondas last time, and got a gsxr400 and an fzr400 coming down this time for sure...
