1st run this year
DRC INDY 7 - 7/3/10 at 03:12 PM

Wow just been for a 14 mile run since fitting the the new engine

nice sunny day just a little cold on the fingers the new engine is a bit tight at the mo but still wips up the wheels in second going up hill and in 5th it just keeps pulling





The lightend flywheel must be doing its job in allowing the engine to wip up quicker

Went for my 5th blat in 3 days. Had a bit of a moment on cold tyres, but thoroughly good fun. I just need to find some driving gloves, as my fingers went numb!

Been out in the car today too, sun shining & not a cloud in the sky, but it was still very cold.

Roads were bone dry, but very very slippy, had a few sphincter clenching moments

Gloves what are they ? not cold enough for gloves

scutter - 7/3/10 at 08:20 PM

I did a 2 mile drive around base, good enough to remind me what the cars like

Also learnt real quick that R888's need treating gently when really new and cold, fast enough acceleration though for the glass to pop out of the wing mirror and smash

A drive from Oxford to Norfolk should scrub the tyres in before Silverstone next week!!

I have to scrub a set of 888s in before use in anger

probs put them on for the steady blat to stonleigh

went out saturday bout 20 mile round trip sun was shining but very chilly fortunately silly hunters hat and ski gloves kept extremeties from freezing, legs got a bit chilly tho. had bike suit on for second half mrs wasnt best chuffed tho.

Had an interesting moment when we turned down one lane where we hadnt been before and discovered a ford across the road we didnt know was there. Quick reverse into a convenient farm entrance and about turn to find alternative route.
