Thank you Cazza!

That was properly good fun. As became apparent to most when I turned up, my coil didn't make it in time for Brands Hatch, so I was on the SV. Slightly thicker fork oil, braided brake lines and crash bungs were all fitted / stolen from other bikes in the garage. Joe was fitting stupidly sticky tyres with me at 11pm the night before (what a top bloke).

And I had a propper giggle. Got much better lines sorted out than last time, so managed to get a bit of pace on and enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Probably the hotest track day ever, jeez was there a lot of sweating going on!

they killed the audio, but though some might be interested in the few bits of video I took, just testing the camera after a couple of years of just sitting around.

Anyway here's the link

I managed to make it into a picture/video woo hoo! It caught the back of me standing in the pit lane, but was still the closest I got to getting my knee down...

Aside from the obvious low points , it was a really great day.

It was so nice that so many people came along - the company always makes even more enjoyable! No knee down for me, or anything like that; but I did manage to get rid of my chicken strips and get a much better feel for the TT.
