    Shit it's fast! Stable and predictable, does everything we could have hoped for...Including FUCKIN SICK SKIDS. Drifting at speeds I didn't think it would do was awesome.

    Will do a race report some time this week.

    Still looks better with me on it.

    Yeah, we hope to do it next year if it doesn't clash too.

    We've got footage from a helmet cam on Alan. Didn't record when we mounted it to the chair bugger it. So footage is only from Saturday before we changed the back tyre, (which was a FUCKIN epic ordeal), so no cool skids.

    Simon's bike has been serviced and polished and returned to his Mum's garage. I have an XJR1300 now.

    yea, Never felt it nervous until recently where it snakes under brakes... I mainly have understeer on rights it tries to push the front rather than slide the rear when on the throttle. The engine might be properly tired by now after you and AJ been riding it lol. We had phil move further and further forward and that balanced it out a bit, where it becomes neutral. We will sus it. It has a new rear on and old front tyre so might not be helping. Lefts are ok usually. pretty neutral with throttle oversteer when the chairs up. The front tyre is pretty old by now and done a lot of racing.

    I pulled the bias setup apart.. not sure how long its been like this but it was missing some crucial circlip action which held the pivot point in place and allowed the threaded bar to screw in and out of it. Without the circlips it doesn't work you can screw it one way or the other and the pivot point never changes. Might have sorted that now. As far as previous owners and mo have mentioned - I think this outfit prefers more to the rear. Will have a play with bias soon
