Mark, great to hear you will get your No9 sorted.
Never ridden other bikes apart from my 30/35, but have been just offered one on a RC30 after it passes it´s MOT... Reading your impressions on Paul´s RC make me think it will be worth a go. Only downside is I am quite happy with what I have, don´t want to get hooked to a bike I can´t afford...
Please drop me a line if you finally book a TD in Spain

Absolutely - i am booked for Jerez with No Limits on the 30th-2nd Dec (I think - end of Nov anyways ) I am not convinced that I want to be taking the risks and mingling so much due to the Covid but we'll see..
RC30 wise - you'll love it. Such a cool thing to ride and makes the same noises (albeit a deeper tone) and with such wonderful torque.
I did look at some bike prices and realised that to do justice to an RC30 would take more cash than I have right now! It' was a great experience though and one that I can rely on to remind me that I really do love to ride bikes!

In that list of owned/borrowed bikes for track duties is more than the bikes ive owned since 1998.
Better getting the nc fixed as you can't keep going around saying i own an nc30 but it's a tad temperamental, so spend on it, ride it, enjoy it and then when money allows again go and get something with a bit more oomph if it still tickles yer fancy

Woo - Hoo, good to hear good old Number 9 is comming back to the world of the Living.
Give me a shout if you are ever heading over to the Vaterland Mark, it is a cracking ride from our place to the Nürburgring through the Eifel National Park
P.S. Video from the Cadwell weekend when your gearbox got stuck in 3rd

That video, dubious music aside, was great :)
Indeed - the moto is coming on lovely - it has been stripped to the frame and we're looking at the consumables needed -bearings etc.
The chap who is delivering on the rebuild for me - He is Twenty 20 Customs on the facebook.
Some pics on there that I'll try to get off and in here.
Ref a road trip - well..it's going to be trackbike I reckon. It may be that I'll be acquiring something road bike related next year and so we'll be on it mate. I want to get out and do a few long weekends on the bike - I miss the riding

Sounds good to me. Just give me enough heads up so I have enough time to stock up on Bratwurst and get the beer/Schnaps properly cold

Nearly done....
The bike runs - it is clean and lovely. You can view the pics on Twenty 20 customs on facebook.
I'll get it back, get it dyno'd and get my arse onto a race track!
