Snetterton again (and again).
At Snetterton again on Thursday, and then again towards the end of June. There's a deal at NoLimits -book one Snet day in May/June and get a 2nd May/June date for £69.
Don't suppose anyone else...

Re: Pointy bits
Ordered the remainder of the race bodywork today, so all of my stock bodywork (fairly decent shape - low mileage bike), except the tank, but including the seats, mirrors, headlight, subframes,...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Did a bit of work on my SZR660 today. I managed to wire in a 6-wire Domino start/run/kill switch in place of the 4-wire original. I'm not great at electrical, and the switches function differently,...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Snetterton yesterday! My first time there- challenging, but fun. Shared a garage with some good guys. Had a cracking day - despite a 2hr break when a Ducati decided to sick up it's motor oil after...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
That's helpful info thanks, even if a bit of a bitter pill to swallow. The real difficulty is deciding whether to re-book tickets, or wait and see what happens and either make the trip, or not, on...

Re: Pointy bits
Hi Rob. Can you collect (not sure I've got a box big enough to post if not)? I've not spent much time looking at prices... Would £70 collected be fair? Feel free to PM to discuss.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Nearly- more that there was still lots of time/opportunity for them to decide to issue tickets. So what seems like clear intent to scam, apparently doesn't meet their bar.

Mastercard! Specifically the chargeback "protection".

I've booked Snetterton for next Thursday. Anyone else going? (I'm guessing not, but never hurts to ask)

Re: Pointy bits
So they're £90 new. I reckon £55 shipped is a fair price (nets me just under £50). PM me with your address if that works for you and I'll get back to you with bank details. Cheers!

Pointy bits
So I'm enjoying the SV enough on the track that I don't really see myself being road focused on it again. With that in mind, I figure I might as well sell off the bits I've removed. I'm not looking...

Re: Bedford - April 9th
Was a bit cold, but dry and a huge amount of fun. My first outing in the inters group and I don't think I held anyone up (too much). I was generally pleased with my own performance at least :)

I did behind the sprocket cover today as well -also with kerosene, and an old tooth brush. Was pretty grim behind there - don't think it'd been done before. Not sure how much of it is "mine" - I've...

Re: First trackdays of the year booked...
I love it, but my goal was to increase the space between the pegs and seat (I'm near 6'4"), as my aging knees were protesting. I topped off the FRP seat with 20mm foam to gain a little more space...

Test-fit the SV on the new (to me, otherwise scabby and old, but sound) trailer. Also test-fit the new tail section (BB Plastics - looks good I reckon). Will be a busy few days to get that properly...
