Silverstone 18th Feb Focused Events

[Rawwr]

Long, long, long, long, long range forecast reckons on heavy cloud, 8°c ambient and heavy rain the night before.

[veetwin]

It will be fine, trust me!!

[Mad Dave]

Well let's hope it's dry - my bike still currently has dodgy brakes!! I replaced the disks but it still judders like buggery so the shop I bought it from have ordered me another wheel and disks from a breakers - it's being fitted tomorrow so HOPEFULLY that'll be it. Otherwise i'll be braking pretty damn early at the end of the main straight! LOL

Let's not go counting chickens just yet heh

That said though, my bike now has a gold front wheel from a 'busa and the brakes work properly again!

Now all I need is a new battery so I can start the thing

How *dare* you compare me to Chilli! I'm offended. I'm writing to my MP.

(no, not crashed... yet)

If Silverstone is going to be as slippery as I'm expecting, you might just have your revenge.

[Mad Dave]

With Focused? I was there on 28th with Hottrax - once the fog lifted it was a great day.

[veetwin]

Just take it easy, I have a new rear 2ct to scrub in!!

[Mad Dave]

I wish I was on 2CTs - I was on Pilot Powers last time and they were ace - my TLR has Conti Road Attacks on - I believe they're meant to be touring rubber
