So you'll be parting with the damper then ? (Wink wink)

Hi lloydie, I was thinking about selling the damper but I'm going to put it in the box marked 'anniversary bits' so I can go back to original if I want to :)

I do like the bike with damper fitted ...

Today saw me and Lloyd working on the "twins" again.... Twins, get it? :lol:

I finally got my shock back Fla couple of days ago after sending it off for work before Christmas :shock: so today I managed to get the T mobile again and I started to hack off more carbon fibre from the belly pan in order to get it to fit, still havnt finished it but getting there slowly. Made a plan for the next few weekends which should all be achiveable. Also had mine running today which was fantastic. but the highlight, well I'll let Lloyd fill you in on how my bike saved his :wink: :lol:

I recognise that Muppet!

I'm hoping to have mine road worthy next weekend and maybe even a quick test ride :D

Looking forward to getting back on the track and the bike shall even receive a touch up of paint before the season starts too :)

I went for a wee ride on the track a couple of weekends back. Weather here sucks. Strong sun and 30+ degrees C all the time. Hate it. :beer:




Yes my riding is awful yada yada yada.

Fitted Supersprox rear, JE front, DID VX chain, back on the road at last, hooray.
About bloody time, but I've been busy building a workshop, sorry wife, conservatory.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

My friend's track bike is on a daytime MOT, the only thing he's added is a strip of red LED's for a brake light, purely for safety on the road. Might be worth considering so no one runs in to you and you can always disconnect it at the track.
