[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 108553, member: 597"] Sounds like you did extremely well...........You are completely right about the confidence level, its the main thing that holds us all back on the race track, but having a really reliable bike is absolutely the most important thing I have found. Does not matter a hoot how fast the other riders are if their bikes fail and results in DNF's all the time..........Poor blokes in the pits with the primary and half the gearbox innards laying half in the dirt looks so demoralizing to me, or electrical problems with the guru's who claim their space age electronic ignition is the best ever, only they now cant work out which part to change because there is no spark at the plugs........... My next race is on the weekend of the 20/21 of July so really looking forward to it. I have been doing a few track days using an 2014 Ninja 300 which is so reliable and serves the purpose extremely well. Giving the ESO/ Norton its final race, and then it will be pulled down for an engine change, where it will become a Norvin, so looking forward to that ........ Good to see you having a great time, you and the bike look great. Cheers........ Greg. [/QUOTE]
