Just sorted out all my packing. Majority of it fits into the hard luggage, man that stuff is useful (and worth the kidney it cost me
)
What are these waterproofs you speak of Mac? Just man up

Ive managed to chuck my RSV down the road on the way to work yesterday morning.
Turns out track tyres have absolutely no grip when cold. First corner and the front went. Very annoying! The last time I use race scrubs on the road.
Right rearsets and clipons are fooked. So I won't be making it to Wales

Interesting article.

Though point 1 is probably mostly true, race compound tyres really are awesome when used with tyre warmers.
My brother and I have so much confidence in the scrubs we use. We took 20 sec a lap off at Oulton this year on them.

You won't need one. I've been out with that lot before and I can assure you there wont be a shortage of hot air
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
