Well i did Rockingham this saturday (13/3/10) First session i had to watch my mate low side in front of me, then come in myself as my clutch was slipping. Made sure mate was ok then sorted out the clutch. 2nd session, holy cow, bike pulls so much quicker with the gearing change and the hrc cdi let me get that extra bit out of the rev range. Didnt bother tweaking anything during the day really, just enjoyed my first td of the year, didnt want to push it too much. But for the next one, i will be raising the ride height back to 310mm as the turn in could be better, also will fit the quick action throttle Tanuki got for me. The front end seemed to perform ok, but will tweak it along with the rear. Very happy with the outcome of all work done over the winter. :up:

Sounds like a good session mate.

Looking forwards to seeing it going in the flesh.

We really must get a TD sorted :ninja:

Was going to make it an all weekend jobbie Billy, but theres none in june there anyway. How about going a little further Marty? Or maybe another month?

Oh and quick action throttle now fitted, although the nipple holder had some damage so not sure its gonna hold out!

Am only home in June, then probably late August/early September after that. I can make any track you want, just really fancied a blast round Angelsey full circuit, but like you, I couldnt see a June date for it. I do enjoy Cadwell but its a bit of a schlepp from the Birkenhead ferry, so am open to suggestions.
