Great fun last night really enjoyed getting back onto the best race track in the world.

I did 3 laps last night 2 on the 600 and 1 on the 400
The second session was cut short because of the failing light.

Only minor problems to sort out with the bikes the 600 was undergeared and the clutch was slipping a little.......................the 400 had a very stiff throttle action I suspect that it's something to do with the new twist grip I fitted..............the 400 might just pull a tooth less it was right in the red for miles and miles..................... lovely. Then again thats what a zxr400 is for :excited

My sisters fella ran his sv650, it blew, same as last year. JHS built the bike brand new last year and its been nothing but unreliable. Gutted! His 675 will hopefully be more reliable.

Simon Perkin, he's rode there for years so you'll probably know of him. They have a big caravan and a new long wheel base tranny. 2 Awnings and 2 dogs with them. I'll be over on thursday helping out for friday practice and by the sound of things bringing an engine with me.
