Thanks heaps Swanny for your help at the pits!

Thanks to F/F for your help, food, humor etc etc

I must have missed out on 2 or 3 sessions because I was still getting the bike ready at the track.

On my first session, The gear wouldn't shift down going into or coming out of the hairpin, because of a small nut jamming the shift rod.. After a few frustrating laps of the gears getting stuck, I was getting rather pissed off! :spudgrr:

Then I changed the rearset over to standard and the problem was solved. I managed to get a couple of clean laps in and thats when I must have done the 1'04..

On the next session, by the time I warmed up the tires, the fuel ran out! D'oh...

So yea, that was practice... I'm hoping to go a lot better tomorrow.

See you guys down there if you make it.

Hmm was that you crossing the track onto the outside about 1:30 pm? I was on the gixxer coming the other way.. you didnt look very happy with your day.

Yep, that was me...from the right hand side of my bike you could probably tell why I was none too pleased.

Screwd up a downshift on the way in to Jennian, got stuck between gears, couldn't let the clutch out, and didn't find another gear...straight lined it on to the wet grass and hit the deck. Bit of a lame way to go out. I was actually really enjoying riding in the wet until then. Maybe I was leaving too little margin for such errors with so little time on the bike recently.

Good thing is that the bike is not too damaged, just needs a new right footpeg, maybe a new bracket as it's bent, and a new $3 bolt for the crash bung, and get the front wheel looked at, but it should be sweet.

Also good was my choice to wear jockies instead of loose boxers. Jill was first on the scene, and the zip on my pants had torn and they'd come down a bit, but luckily the jocks hadn't

Glad to hear that you got your bike sussed Sudeep.

And Jill, 1'08, that's smokin girl Especially given the time you've had on the bike. All the best for the race :ncieone:
