Yeah...I can see 2 secs.

It was strange riding the BMC bike as I was so bloody scared of crashing it that I had to chill. I guess I can take the chance to go faster on mine where I can get my brains to keep rolling on..

I nearly crashed the BMC bike in my first race anyways...through the gravel and I was so lucky that I have some MTB skills...or I would not have forgiven myself for dropping the bike. I think that made a big impact on my attitude to riding the races.

this TD will give me over 50 laps... and I'veonly ever done about 100 in the 3 meetings...and 1 of them was a wet one!

I need to get some tracktime - this is the main reason I had to leave the series halfway last year - I needed more races and the deal with Mike did not cover it. So had to build my own bike...

Looking forwards to a good few laps - I'll try and follow you a few of them Si...but I need to get my zones in first as you are easily 3+ secs a lap faster than me.

Got to walk before I start running...and need to make sure my moto is running as good as it can!

That would be cool SI - don't be wasting your sessions but some pointers would be good. You'll not get much chance to follow me in the races....

id ride it as it is and slowly change it, dont just back everything off. you might find its not too bad, what tyres are u using and what pressures?

There will be a guy tomorrow (colin i think) who will set up suspension for forty five squids and will help you out all day, not tried it before, but heard it's well worth it.
