Plenty of work in the garage for the R1's track debut at Cadwell on the 15th.


No road riding in this weather, I'm not stupid.

Trumpet's sleeping bag might be in the way though

No bike things planned for this weekend, I was out on the Triumph on Tuesday and spent more time cleaning it than riding it, It can stay tucked up in the garage this weekend, plus it was -6 this morning and I can't see it getting any warmer.

(but it is a great day outside with not a cloud in the sky, hmmmm.....)

Might wheel mine out of the garage and give it a clean, partly just so my brand new tyres (with all of about 50 miles on them) don't square off before this bloody weather improves!

Well other than riding home for Birthday drinks with a few mates I wasn't planning on touching the bikes this weekend for a change.

Then in the sludge and spray on the M25 this afternoon, the Speed Trip started spluttering under load. Bcensoreder!

Hopefully it's judt salty water on the coils playing up with the spark. We shall see.

Just the one day Craig.

Some of the others are doing the 2 days, and some of them are staying over night not far from the circuit.

Valentines day on the 14th so I'd be pushing my luck doing a double day.

Besides, it's too bloody cold.
