Quite pleased with myself.
I had 2 very short sessions to start with where the visor kept fogging. Trying to lift a visor when committed to a corner is no fun, especially on a new circuit. I made the mistake of having stodgy food at lunchtime and cut the first session short after lunch due to the amount of smoke coming out of my arse. Steady progress on Day 1 and got down to 2:20.3.

I'm looking to try and grab a few more seconds tomorrow subject to having slightly bigger balls.

Brno is an excellent track. Plenty to keep you busy for the length of the circuit.

The beer is fking dirt cheap as well
I'm in if you go back
Me too. Compared with you lot I'm SAF but still love it thumbup

I think there is a couple of guys about the same time.

Track is very hot today and tyres are going to be struggling. He's posted a 2:11 so far today but no doubt that will come down.

I've managed to get into the 2:19's but the way the track is going with heat, may struggle to better it today. I've had to turn the TC up as the bugger has already had me out of the seat.

Anyone fancy 11th and 12th August at Oulton? Only £279 if you book both together.

No timing here so no idea. No one has overtaken me yet though biggrin

Think my top times are done though, fork seal is gone on the left hand fork leaking a bit of fluid onto brake pads on that side. Will ride round and have a bit of safe fun at slower speeds but the lap records are done

that's sucks, is it the seal and not just dirt? cant you get a bit of roach paper and try clean it out? or a sealmate?
