Looks like you all had a good weekend.

Not suprising after seeing a peaky 545 lb/ft of torque on the rolling road the day before!
We both had to sit in the boot to keep the 888's from spinning up

Thanks for posting those up Derek, I had the sound on full and the Chim sounds great. Funny how the break lights light up on full throttle.

Good to meet you Bill. MY hearings not the best and it didnt help with those screaming bikes but i heard most of what you had to say i think laugh

Shame i only had 4 runs all day worrying about those nasty sounds from the clutch.
Its going to the garage today for diagnosis so I am hoping its a simple fix, then I can play and get those rear shockers set right. 2 second 60 foots are not good enough for me.
I have ran mid 1.8's and I should be hitting 1.7's.

Yeah i know. Shocks to be played with and better brakes for the burnout will help.

I also suspect my calipers need a clean out and a good bleeding
