Right - booked and ready to go! It seems ages since I was out.

Forks rebuilt, gearing changed, PV cleaned, front brake fettled - good to go!

Forecast is not looking too bad.

Target? - better than 2'30'' !!!!! ( I want to get down to 2'20'' by September ).

Anyone else going?

I wish but I'm afraid that with my DR650 I could probably making it in 1d-22h-45m-20s...
Nonetheless if the weather is good I'll pass by to say hello.

I'll be grand as long as i don't look into the eyes of any of the fast lads.................

I was looking at the Clubmans 125 times - If I could knock out 2'25'' I'd be last but not by much

Does Alan want to me to take the Susuki for a spin?

Well you think you're flying but the calendar cannot lie.

Fook, fook, fook - 2'42". Fooking cyling speed.

Wnakers passing before a corner and then fooking nearly stopping mid corner in front of me.

Tyres well ripped up.(BT003)

GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!

But - No excuses, I'm a sihte pilot.

On the other hand... Great day out.

Guess I've found something else I'm crap at??

The control is - take the ZX out and see if i'm just as crap ? More fun to come....

Ah crap, sorry man - only just saw this post now: if I had seen it before, of course I would have let you taken it out - it was sitting in the garage doing nothing all day while I was out on the other 2. Ahh, what a waste, I would have loved to have watched some other mad lunatic rip the absolute arse out of my baby at Mondello while I stood trembling at the pitwall too!!!

Great day though, got exactly what I wanted out of it. Scrubbed in new rear and checked forks on Kwacker all ready for this Sunday's pre-97 race: aiming to get into the 1:01's - I know I got it in me!

As for the Gixxer? Well we FINALLY hit it off towards the end. Bike is an animal, and a hell of a lot of bike to throw around that course! But really, really began to click with it. Consistent 1:54-1:56's - but that still way more than 5 seconds off what the lad I bought it off was getting out of it last year! But still good enough for me for it's first time on the International with me, reckon it's time for me to enter it, so first race weekend in August it'll be 2 classes entered for me!! (jaysus, I better pick up the fitness pace quick!!).

Maddest thing was, that at one stage, while experimenting with tyre pressures, came in after first session after lunch (hadn't checked pressures since the morning - was running around 23 hot), and after a real good session - the pressures were reading 6psi!!! Yes, SIX PSI!!!! I thought valve was faulty, as we checked it with a couple of gauges, but nope, after pushing on the tyre and realising how soft it was - we just all looked at eachother wide eyed and dropped our jaws in shock! I pumped it back up to 20 again!! Mother of jehovah, I know the N-Tec's are designed to run lower pressures, but that was ridiculous!!! It did feel a bit squidgy when I went out, but after a lap or two - felt fantastic, the tyre wear was smooth as silk. I thought I had about 23 in it from earlier, so was actually going to lower it before I saw it was already at 6!! Reckon it was down to the plastic valve cap allowing the pressures to leak (how did that get on there?), so on with a metal one and problem solved.

Definitely a new one - getting some of my best lap times on the International with only 6 psi in the back tyre!!

Will have to keep an eye out for some of you lads next time - could have been chatting to you on the day yet had no idea you were on the forum!!

Happy days Gar, see you Sat/Sunday in Mondello, I'll be happy to consistently stay upright, avoid tyre walls, not get in anyone's way and not blow the bejebus out of anything.....too much to ask???

Garage 17/18 ?

I was the old, grey bearded lad with the Aprilia RS125. I think we may have been chatting about wedding photographs !?
