Wait a few sessions first to get up to speed as new circuit. If you don’t like the feeling go back to original setting. :|
After Steve at peak played with my suspension its been great but found the tyre pressures he advised are ok at the start of the day but as it get warmer and pushing harder the rear kept letting go and squirming around on exits, so when it starts doing this i just drop it a Pound and it seems to grip so much better.


This was too Laynes advise last year at Llandow on the old CBR (trackbike) i was using and works just as well on the RR.

Tweeks like this we could all be test riders for the greats oneday :lol:

Great weather, fantastic track 8) 8) :D .

It was a focused event and I thought it was the same/as good as any other event…….except for the bit when I signed on and I found I had been put from the fast group to novices. But they changed it back for me after a couple of sessions, gave me a chance to learn the track.

Highlights 8) . Was great to ride a track with hills. Bonus 20min session, though slow, the night before. Great value pics. Genny nearly caught fire during riders briefing. Very glad we could share the driving. Nothing got damaged, no one got hurt. Did I say I loved the track 8)

Lowlights :( . Leaving the track at 6-30 and Not Getting to bed till nearly 3am. Then having to get up for work at 7-30 and feeling like shit all day.

Please Mr Gates, get your boffins working on a teleport device…………………. :lol: :D

yeah was a very good day, pics came out well, vids came out well. track was awesome, weather was hot.

only came close to coming off on the hairpin and park corner as my steering damper had come loose and jammed into the bracket on the top yoke - not nice not being able to turn the handlebars when going into a tight corner i can tell you !!

overall tho a top circuit and top time - would definately reccomned it :D :D
