Can't ask for better than no.1 mate. There were some seriously talented rider's in that field. Great report.. I love to hear about the hardwork that goes into it behind the scenes for some reason. Makes me all emotional.

Hearing about good results is always a buzz too. Respect in your direction.

All my novels are done in about an hour and a half. I can cut 'em to the chase if you like... Wasn't sure if there was too much waffle in 'em.

Good stuff man. I watched the whole race and I was very impressed with your smooth riding in the wet. Good stuff!

Catch you and BMW on the next round next month.

Cheers Motoracer, was great to meet you last Sunday.

I'm really lucky my ZXR750 H1 consultant the HAWK eyed T.W.R. picked up she was really low in the back.
I myself had thought so, I also considered it steered like a barge and often ran wide. Having read a test where the tester had said Kawasaki had designed a bike for the type of person that has really short legs and really long arms, so I assumed that was just the way it was supposed to be!
Not only did T.W.R. point it out, he also told me about the eccentric cam ride height adjuster and sent me scanned photos from the manual, but a nice set of instructions!!!

Sure enough it was on it's lowest setting, so now it is on the tallest. I just tested it on the local test track, and wow!!! She steers soooooo much faster and goodbye ground clearance issues! I can hardly wait to get back to the track, there is 2+ seconds with that mod alone me thinks!

Thanks TWR, you the man and bling on the way!
