My day just went to rat poo, a rubbish nights kip due to the children in the next garage, the rubbishly slow noise testing was a joke, being first out didnt help. I just wasnt enjoying myself, it would have ended in tears, just wasnt in the mood to ride; and I must say I just wasnt organised enough.

Going to be different friday, going to pop and set up thursday and have the bike up on the stands with warmers on before the brief and leathers on !!

Shame you had a bad day. Mate of mine has been following Simon Crafar aka MotoVudu. Frankly I'm not sure if the guy really knows much as his writing is a bit second-rate (he seems to be developing his fundamental ideas at the same time as he teaches them), but this is a long though interesting piece, and you'll find the ending timely:

Better luck for Cadwell!

Had a quick skim of that, was happening to me a lot on Monday. Other riders overtaking me on the straights as they had a faster bike, then drifting in front of me and slamming the anchors on.
