Oh, and my new Steering Damper came in very handy, now that's it's fitted properly, with all the dips and bumps and crest's when the bike kept lifting it's front.
Wet or dry, Oulton is my favourite. Once upon a time I could reach 1:47's but now it's 1:50's at best, but not in the wet!
This was my Birthday 2 years ago. Pelting rain & I was the only one out until lunch when the sun came out. 'kin 'ard me! :yoparty:
The Monster is going to Rockingham with me on Aug 2nd for a whizz around too.
Really enjoyed Oulton Park it was great fun. It started raining on first session during my sighting laps, and I bottled due to being on slicks and came in. Rest of day was dry and only other issue was my flat battery after lunch, caused by fried wiring from generator... that's the drawback of running a 25 year old bike I guess :cens:
Venhill 600A quick action throttle was brilliant, and made the bike much easier to ride
Looking forward to 3 days at Cartagena in late October
After having a couple of track sessions while on a ride skills course (yep still learning) on the KTM 690 duke and finding to be a fantastic track tool I am looking for a trackday to go play some more.
Will be looking for a date after August.
Louscannon's 899 Panigale pinging the noise meter in morning testing and a few times on the drive-by one meaning he was lucky not to get kicked off completely.
Tuesday 25th August. Open pit lane at Snetterton - No Limits. Still searching for 2.00 minutes but it's a no hoper as I can't see where I'll find 4 seconds... Oh well. I'll take the Monster too & scrub the new tyres in properly. :thumbsup::yoparty::biggrin:
Here is a result or three from my 1 session blast on the M1200S at Rockingham yesterday +1. Just to scrub the tyres in properly. I actually took several mm off my toe sliders & shaved the exhaust almost every corner. Such a great laugh passing a lot of Sport bike guys 'givin it large'!!
