Just one of those kid with a new toy posts. Went to visit Terry Hay. Got me some gold valves and correct tension fork springs and a correct tension spring for the second hand Ohlins I already have at the rear. OMG I never thought my bike could handle this well, 55 posted corners on Terry's "test track" taken at twice that with more to spare no problem. It's still nearly a 10 year old chassis so it's not as quick to steer as a new 6 but it's at least three quarters of the way there from what my bike was like.

You have lots of experience now with things that go "Boing" hey Phil!

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
