I'll have a look at the calendar, might pop up on the Sunday.

Yeah, that looks ok, nothing else on except bike rebuilding.

Were you gonna camp overnight?

If it's any help, my garden's big enough for a few tents, or if there's only a few I could find a bit of floor space for a bedroll and sleeping bag.......

Meant nothing by it fella, just that of you stayed at tony's then we can all ride to brands together, rather than walk around like lost sheep trying to find each other.

I'm with you, if the weather is pants then I won't be coming up.

Just got back in from a great day at Brands with Tony, Yeti & Bazza. :thumbup:

Schorchio sun baked day with some good racing, one or two gravel trap mishaps including one poor sod being airlifted away & extremely expensive ice creams!

Thunderbike Firestorm's, two of them, the one that was recently in PB got two 8th places, the other one had a prang yesterday & was a bit sore so didn't do so well.

Tony did try to sell them Bazza modded CCT's but they already had manual's fitted.

Bazzer will look a bit :redface tomorrow a bit to much sunshine!
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

It would seem that you get better feel for the clutch when cable operated
and they were able to get a better launch at the start .
so thought " GET ONE A THEM "!! before tony.mon buys the lot up :lol:
got to be worth havin a fiddle with at some point , and there was one going
cheap on ebay so nabbed it .
you gotta chop it about a bit for that `made at home on a shoestring race look `,
but hey !! its bound to be raining one evening what else you gonna do ??

so thats honda varadero 1000 sprocket cover :thumbup:

What needs to be chopped around? I have bought a clutch lever and holder, I imagined this would have been a straight bolt on, just need to get the cable now.

It would be good if this stops the biting on fast pull aways from traffic lights.
