    That 3 cylinder trumpet went good considering its still early days in its development. Work on those ergonomics - theres time in that and its mostly free n cheap as well. Thanks for the quick spin mate.

    Thanks for the feedback mate. As I said nobody else had ridden it so it was great to have someone ride it and confirm it has potential and there's nothing major wrong with it. Since the weekend I've got a much better idea of what I can do to lower times a fair bit.

    • gearbox ratios
    • a slipper clutch
    • it was 2 teeth too small on the rear sprocket
      • 6th was almost redundant on the long track
    • suspension needs a visit to Dr Robert
      • it was bottoming out and pogo-ing at the end of the straights (I balanced the front wheel properly and that vibration went away)
      • and the high speed left handers things got bouncy as well so I couldn't hold the throttle fully open
    • move the footpegs backwards a bit (but not up higher)
