If you get your confidence up and move to inters then i can take some vid of you have you done anything about your ground clearance problem??!? Some ‘jack up’ plates or rearsets might be in order?

Sort of - I have some slightly shorter dogbones but I need to widen the holes by 0.1mm before they'll fit - Not sure if I can get it done by next tuesday. Anyway as for ground clearances, that's easy - Go faster + hang off more

To be honest, I don't care which group I'm in. Lydden was fun, but I did make a conscious decison to hold back from going as fast as possible, with the view of practicing lines and cornering technique (on Sid Squids good advice!) Confidence is much higher this time, with me wanting to work on braking zones and quicker turn-in's. Will just have to see how quick everyone else is I guess, but again i'll be looking at my own technique rather than lapping as many as possible (maybe when I get to your standard )

You'll have to see for yourself, but I think she is single! Anyway, she is still only a maybe.

she is only maybe female? I doubt she's too fit then

Everytime I grounded the pegs last time, I'd let my speed drop too much through the corner (though it was only the first session). This caused me to lean over much further than I needed to, tightening my line and grinding the pegs. So a combination of carrying more speed through a corner and hanging off more should save my pegs, no?

I don't know why I'm telling you this - you know it anyway!

Ahh … I see you are hoping the centrifugal force will help prevent the bike from dropping in too far??? I can see the logic there, not sure if you are above walking pace it matters mind!?!? Taking the hero blobs off might give you a degree or two too?!?!

Are the footrests any different on the pointy and curvy??? I have some ‘jackup’ plates on my spare footrests you are welcome to borrow for the day if they would fit?!?!

Thanks Nick. I'm hoping I'll be okay. Looking at the footage and some of the stills I can hang off more. My knee was only just skimming along the ground last time, so I know I can hang further. Last time I was getting used to the technique - now I feel quite comfortable with it, I'm hoping it won't be a problem!

I'm bringing tools anyway, so if worst come to the worst, I can take you up on your offer - Thanks! (if they'll fit that is)
