Oh and had binding front brake issues all weekend, not an excuse but it may have been a bit faster if the wheel span free.. New master cylinder seals, new caliper seals, new brake lines, CBR600F4 calipers.. Need to work out what's going on as there should be no issues with it..

Looks like you had a great weekend. Well done.
Wish I'd seen this post last week, would have tried to come along. Maybe next time.

Al, I might have cracked a small smile, which must mean I'm reasonable happy
