No Budget Cup - That's Numberwang! Racing

The fairing bulge repair with fibre glass, a coat of filler and a splash of black paint to finish:







Again not pretty but does the job.

Bah. It would have been a killer up around the dales with all the tupperware whipped off and a set of proper bars on it.

I've even got a spare top yoke and bars kicking about ready but meh. I must leave this line of thought alone before I buy something else!!

Oh dear, how sad.

When you're old enough to grow a beard, will you be shaving all your hair off and start wearing cammo trousers and a denim cut off?

Pft we've had this discussion before.

You got owt useful to add or are you busy looking wistfully at the "you must be this tall to ride the slide" sign?

18 days to race number 1. Rider No.2 visited the bike today, is happy that we're safe and is about to transfer entry fees

Let's go racing!

good luck tim, would love to do something like that

We're treating the first race as a sorting/orientation period, tight time lines and bits getting deliverd means that there will be minimum time for team members to familiarise themselves with the bike.

A plus point is that all of the riders have ridden our first circuit, Zolder, before.

It also looks like we're going to race at Dijon in July None of us have been there

Good luck Tim.

Ar$e biscuits as some would say, A16 Road and Race appear to be numpties, they still haven't sent out my quiet can yet, I'm calling back at 4pm BST to see what progress is, but it sounds unlikley that it'll be here before Tuesday's race. Disappointing as when I ordered it he said there would be no issues with timing, and when I rang last Thursday he thought it would be going out on the Friday. They have limited time to redeem themselves (although I think it's a one man band).

Plan B is to try and locate some packing and repack the horrifically loud arrow can, then plug it with a DB killer (also to be located). Everything else is almost on track, but lots to do.

Just checked and apparently it has been dispatched. I should receive a tracking number by the end of the day. I'm holding my breath, but it could look hopeful.
I'm going to try and source the packing and dB killer anyway, as until it's in my hand it doesn't exist!
