New Minitwin Lap Record Knockhill!!!
 
4 Attachment(s)
It's official!!
New Minitwin Lap Record at Knockhill!!
I've been to Knockhill today with my trusty steed Bullseye.
We were going pretty well, and after a few 62 second laps, we got into the 61s and then went for it big style and broke the lap record!!
Well when I say lap record-I hope you're not thinking of the time variety??
It's just that when we got back from our " last lap" one of the marshals said "i've never seen that much gravel in a belly pan-EVER"!!
So there you have it-no one has ever managed to carry 3 stone of gravel round Knockhill in there belly pan-even if the bike was in the back of the horse box!!
Oh-did I forget to mention losing the back end coming out of Clarks and binning the old girl??
Well all in all it's been a fantastic day!!
Managed to get a 61 second lap and then bursting my crash "cherry"!!
I'm fine, apart from strangley enough gravel rash on my wrists!!
Bullseye is officially licking his wounds!!
Need to get into gear if he's going to be ready for East Fortune in 3 weeks!!!
Help!!

TTFN

Hi everyone,
been out this morning and ripped into the bike.
Think the repair list goes like this.
1. New pair of boots-right one is cattled!!
2. Can-it's slightly dented!!
3. The exhaust "Y" piece is crimped-think it's part of rear header pipe.
4. Brake riser plate-can make one at work.
5. Brake pedal.
6. Front brake lever.
7. Seat unit-might try patching up for kudos!!
8. Weedkiller to stop geraniums growing in belly pan!!
9. And hopefully finally. I might change the back tyre-the way it just drifted out was a bit of a suprise!! I asked the marshall if there was anything on the track, or maybe i'm just riding too close to the limit and now I know where it is??
If anyone would like to help "SPONSER" the rebuild, please let me know!!
It's just that there's a lot of peolple "relying" on me to bring up the rear of the Minitwin field at East Fortune in three weeks time!!
It's not easy or cheap trying this hard to make everyone else look good!!!

In the words of my mate Gav D.

MORE POWER!!!

Hope to get loads of comments real soon!!

Re: New Minitwin Lap Record Knockhill!!!
 
And I've just bought a new set of boots so there's a set of old frank thomas ones here if you're size 8-9!

They're a bit worse for wear and a couple of bits have fallen off them but they'll do!

nice exhaust!
Not sure if your rear plastics are saveable but if not I have a set with a crack in them (skim of filler will sort it) you're welcome to.

Badluck, hope you get it back in shape speedily!
