Yesterday and this morning were spent at Brands Hatch with a Daytona 675 in a million bits trying to sort a misfire, and then an overheating problem. I diagnosed a blocked fuel filter in the tank, which meant stripping out and totally dismantling the fuel pump and cleaning the almost inaccessible 'tea-bag' filter - and then sorting the overheating problem which race 675s are prone to, namely removing the thermostat and drilling ring of 4mm holes around the outside edge before replacing it.

This afternoon was spent watching my mate Danny Imberg, who I've spannered race bikes for over the past 3 years, taking the same 675 to its first class win in his hands.

I am over the moon

Well done ginger bloke, you rode the wheels off that thing today.

Got no pics of Brands GP yet, but there's some here if you follow the link to the 2009 race reports

and for the last BSB meeting of the 2008 season we borrowed the bike that Danny bought and did one round of the Triumph Triple Challenge - look for bike number 17. It was the first time he'd ever ridden it too. If you look closely you'll see me at the end of the start finish straight in red overalls doing pit signals [Edited because this footage doesn't show the interviews]

Congrats on the win at Brands!
