Oulton 21st March

[Fleegle]

Not long to go now until the new bike gets christened

I've just checked the weather and fingers crossed, we could be in for a dry one http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/United-King...

I swapped the fairings over last week for the slightly damaged 2nd set I got, 4.5 minutes to strip completely, 10.5 mins to put back (sad I know)

Tyres should arrive tomorrow, carbon frame protectors on their way, sliders to be fitted and double bubble screen should arrive Friday.

A couple of nights in the garage now just to get everything together ready for the first outing of the year




I thought that I would start a separate thread just so the other one doesn't get blocked up with photos

Fingers crossed! Looking forward to meeting a few other faces from here.
Bike is almost ready after a couple of minor issues, just got to drop the oil and put fresh in and its good to go.
Going to be tough sharing the track with someone as awesome as yazza though.

Mine still looks like this....



Hopefully have all my bits ready by Friday to go back on, but I'll just be running scruffy unpainted fairings!

[SAS Tom]

I'm booked on for Saturday in fast as well.

Have fun Tony!

Be interesting to know your thoughts having upgraded from a sheddy olde R1 to modern stuff. Will it just be faster or faster AND more fun?

Top Man! Loon might ask for some pointers so be nice

Cheers Jon

The proof will be in the pudding

[curlie467]

What kind of pudding are you bringing?

[clen666]

I've got spotted dick.

Has anyone else been chatted up by Yazza yet?

[Mr OCD]

Hope the bike is everything you hope for Tony. Will try pop down for a gander but very unlikely at the moment.

I suspect I won't see which way he went!

I'm looking forward to fast group. I think I'll be happier with people coming past and not getting caught in traffic a lot.

Hope the spare bed will be comfy enough for you

I didn't realise you'd provide company as well.

I've just done a practice wheel change. Front wheel a price of piss, 11 mins first time round.

The rear wheel is a right fking

[mckeann]

Want some tips???

Does it have captive spacers?

(Probably does ...)

Yus please oh lovely gingery Scottish love God

It does have captive spacers and has the same type as locator on the brake set up as the R1, but just seemed more of a handful

PS. It is on, it was just a right game

[sc0tt]

Are you in novices or inters?

[LoonR1]

I really need to check that my bikes will be delivered on Saturday to the track. As you can see I've spent hours in the garage preparing for this
