I spent a couple of hours last weekend checking everything over on the bike. Off down to Leeming tomorrow to help set the track out, then fit in a couple of hours 'testing'.

I can't find the e-mail to say when it starts to be honest. And I can't find the paper part of my licence. I took it with me to the TT so I've had it recently but it's nowhere to be found

I cant see a requirement for the paper part of your licence anywhere. I won't be bringing mine.
It just specified you must bring photo ID to get in the gate; either a photo driving licence or a passport

Well that's me back from Leeming as I missed the last session. Was good to see people from the forum. I had a cracking day personally. I was in the slow group but managed to overtake a BMWS1000RR on the outside of a left hander. I also managed a bit of grass-tracking after going into a left hander a bit hastily! Time for a shower and a beer now I think.
Hope you get your bike sorted Richie and if you fancy uploading any of your photos please feel free!

Home safe, washed, bike chained up and chinese eated. Absolutely knackered, been dazed since the first session!
Good to see everyone again, I definitely need to get out on my bike more often.

Just looked at the data output from the app the scottish lads (sorry didn't catch names) pointed me to, apparently I hit 127mph on the straight! I didn't think I'd had enough of a run up to get to that speed,apparently had a best lean angle of 52.3 degrees whatever than means in realterms and an average speed of about 56mph (which does actually sound accurate!).
Would have loved to see Whitty's output
