[QUOTE="Nulli Secundus, post: 106659, member: 560"] Last weekend was a lot of fun and at times very exciting for me, but not a great bag of results. I had loads of issues with the bike, which having since partially strippied it down explains it was never at its best At the meeting I was chasing problems between races and only fixing those I found. I nursed an engine rattle for most of meeting. I had 3 finishes and one DNS (did not start ). The finishes were a 3rd and two 5ths, but there were not many behind me. Gerrards, my nemesis corner, was good in my first race, but the bike wobbled badly in the following two. However, not on every lap. My times were slower except for my last race when I tagged onto some much newer Japanese bikes that were lapping me. However, keeping with them and showing my front wheel to a 500cc Yamaha two, or three times a lap, showed that I was faster in places where I shouldn't of been. Namely Gerrards, the approach to the Esses, the Esses and the approach to the hairpin. I have shaved 0.3 of a second from my PB. On the last lap the contact breaker housing made a bid for freedom from the magneto and I slowed dramatically, but managed to tour in to make the flag. I can add that the de-compressor worked well and so did the belly pan.......[ATTACH=full]26860[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]26861[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
