what front cowl/fairing is on that bike in your pic? Looks more r1-ish than tyga's kits?

Its actually a kit made locally in south africa and uses a bigboy gp200 headlight :)

Completed my level 1 training with California Superbike School at Brands last Thursday

It was a very mentally and physically tiring session, but I had a great time and learnt a lot. Plan to do level 2 at Silverstone in August. Should have some good pictures to upload when they are available on CSS website

Ohhh! Tell us about it! Lets have a full review. That sounds like a great thing to have done.

It was a very different to what I expected. We did five 20 min sessions in the classroom, followed by a 30 min track session. each lesson focused on a different skill, throttle, turn in, counter steering, looking through corners, and gradually combining them as the day progressed, to the point where all gears and brakes could be used. For example - first session was no brakes, one gear and concentrating on throttle only. Going round Druids in fourth wasn't easy but I could manage if carrying enough speed. I'll wanted to try to do level 2 this year, but now have track days booked at Donnington, Oulton Park and Cartagena, Spain. So the CSS training may have to wait until 2016.

I've just had a great session at Silverstone this weekend - really liked the circuit. First time out on slicks too

Need to work on my corner speed, body position, get more mobile and hang off more. Bike is capable of going a lot quicker than I can at the moment. But I'm learning all the time and not ending up in the kitty litter which is the main thing.

Got very pissy with it at Cadwell Park.

Damn generator fizzed itself, and the casing somehow cracked.

Don't know when but I noticed it during the second session when it started misfiring and oil was dripping down the inside of the fairing.

Just when I think I have the bike sussed and sorted, it does this.

I guess tasty things and new bodywork will have to wait.

Modded the wiring to had a relay for the headlight bulbs. Bulbs now much brighter.

Started the garage queen that's in my avatar for the first time in months. I used VP storage fuel and the bike sounds like it's still running tip top. I'm going to have to pull the forks and rear shock before I can ride it again though.

My other NC30 gets out quite a bit though.

Air filter, oil and oil filter on Sunday evening. MOT Monday morning. Pass, no advisories. So, that's one advisory in the last 4 MOTs, and that was for the rear tyre being worn, which was being replaced at the same time. Not bad for a bike with 126000kms on it! :D
