It's not my fault I've got to try and meet a 95dB noise limit.

I'm keeping the Arrow can for "LOUD" days

Just read up on how to use lock wire pliers, going to give it a go tomorrow. And a bit of precision drilling, I may buy a work bench or at least a vice......

On the plus side I've received an email that says my can is in transit

I love lockwiring stuff (well, if you have the pliers )

How to stab yourself repeatedly in the soft bit under your fingernail?

Or am I thinking of making brake lines...

It better be really loud day, it measured exactly 104 point-skinoffyerfookinteeth dB at cadwell.

He was a very nice man to give it 105dB

Tim, be prepared to work on the bike a whole lot more than you expect to. I can't belive how much time I'm spending on mine. Its not just playfull enjoyable tinkering, its manic spannering! Three days ago I set about readying it for the upcoming races and thought it would take a couple of hours. Two days later I finished and I still have to change tyres and oil and filter, put the fairing back on, change the front sprocket, adjust the chain and give it a final once over!... and I've already spent a week on it fixing the minor damage from the tumble last time out.

For those who think a race bike isn't as well cared for as a road bike I'd say its the other way around by a factor of at least 10!

Since collecting it all most of my free time at home has either been in the garage tinkering, sourcing stuff through the internet or driving about collecting/delivering stuff. Hopefully it will all come together for Tuesday.

Last night wheels were removed for fitment of series specific rubber, different rear sprocket fitted. I dropped wheels and tyres off this morning for fitting.

How often do you change oil and filter? And what oil do you use on track?

Rider 3 can't make it now due to short notice work issues.

Fire extinguisher has been located and is being delivered to my house any minute.

Wheels were dropped off for tyre fitting this morning, will be picked up after 7pm.

DB killer located at race shop, they don't supply exhaust packing, will be purchasing said DB killer and getting a set of wets fitted to the spare wheels tomorrow am. Will scout about and try and find some packing supplier tonight/tomorrow.

No more updates on exhaust can whereabouts... I have a feeling this is all going to be close.
