Only had the one trip on the R1 so far as I've been out in Shanghai for most of the time since early April, but will be at the 'Ring again in less than 2 weeks. It seems pretty sorted with just some minor suspension work and sticky tyres, plus german registration. I'm slower than I was after 18 months away from the track, and having to relearn bits with the new bike, but hope to start getting there. Although when it does all come together for me I'll be a fair bit slower than Andy!
