If you drop it you'll be hoping you can keep up with the invoices.....

Just take the mirrors off so you can't use them, have a great time Jamie.

at least inters....imho
if Jamie had an rc8, maybe even the fast group....
as for prepping the bike, i'd remove the brake bulbs and cover the indicators switch, you'll look like a plonker indicating to go into the pit lane.....

Haha cheers.
The only things I'm worried about are my rearsets and getting in people's way!
My RC8 dreams are on the back burner as they need costly servicing every 5 mins

For track all you need is the suspension set close and good tyres. Dont worry about getting knees down etc. Just ride.
Its a ton of fun.

most of us have been there at some point, do a search on how to fix the problem, lloydie has some decent info, worst ways it's head off and off to an engineering shop to have it drilled out....

Every time
Please people don't even try to undo them it's far cheaper and quicker to use a nut splitter .

Paid a visit to AP's valeting service and raided the stores.
Washed and polished it and replaced a couple of nuts and bolts that where missing/lost/worked loose and lost
Why is always the 10mm nuts that go walk about, well....apart from the front sprocket bolt that I discovered missing the other day after getting home from down south. To think I was doing silly speeds possibly without it a few minutes earlier
The funny thing is I did feel a little bump like I had run over something on the way home. I wonder if that was the bolt falling out, but that was back in E-Sussex
Anyway that's fixed now good and proper!
What else have I done to my bike today. AP fitted a Blue sidelight bulb. Not sure yet if I like having it. I was a little bit para on the way home and clocked the copper outside parliament giving me the eyeball when passing. It was dark when coming home though so looks blatenly Blue. Then later I clocked plod along the embankment on the other side of the road suddenly turn the Blues on. They most likely got a shout but I thought I would get a shifty on anyway in case they turned around. I'm thinking I will have to go back to a white bulb, don't need any more reasons/excuses for a tug.
