Hi
Did my first track day yesterday and had a tough time due the bike not starting till after lunch. This is just note to the owner of the RVF with 100 number board. thanks for your help with the socket and advice. Bike now booked into the bloke you recommended for full check out and now a new clutch due to it going at 15300 RPM up Clay Hill that was an unusual experience ( leathers off to dry cleaners)
Shell oils corner on a NC30 is thing of great pleasure if you are on the usual lardy 600 you have one line - on the NC you can change your mind as often as you like and use the fat bikes as mobile chicanes. Ok they give you a good kicking on the straight but that does not require any skill.

Behave yourself,most of the riders weigh 20KG more than me and not a lot will keep up with a light rider on a tight bend with a howling NC30
I am working on the power to weight and fear ratio, chunky on a 600 worth 4 grand against racing snake on a 400 worth a quarter of that . must be close match

No problem glad I could be of help.

Didn't realise I hadn't been on here since the new layout so guess I'm now a newbie again :grin:

I dont normally bother with trackside photographers now but the guy who was there on Tues. was taking some really good quality photos.
