    i had issues with the bike on sat and found it wouldnt go past 11.5k

    on the last f3 race i changed the plug to a new one and she came right.
    managed to chop my lap times down by two seconds because of it.

    Yeah the weight if definitly an issuse, not an excusee but an inssue.
    I could see vtec pulling away from me on the straights and even when I got good starts you can see the diffrence. In saying that theroticly my bike should have better grip since im 20kgs heavier at 85kgs

    Yeah was forcing it down sometimes to bring my bike up when the peg was scraping so that was every second corner. But other than that I try just to let it skim.

    Thumbs up Nicely done

    Well young racer... I have pretty much told you everything I had to say to you in person yesterday. Including the last thing I said to you before I left. Which was the fact that I am proud of you. I am proud of the fact that you gave it your absolute best and your absolute best was better than the compition. I am proud because I'm your mate and I'm happy for you.

    See you soon bud.

    P.S. I'll buy you a couple of rounds of beer. A) Cause I owe you from last time. B) For a job well done.

    Sweet thanks dude. To be honnest I havent had time to do anything yet. I have found a plastic welder just got to some how get my stuff there. And the tank is in getting repaired and im gonna buy a tank and magneto cover off GP motorcycles. All thats left is to find out why bike wont start which should be simple (I havent tryed since manfeild) and to give the front sub frame the heat and bend.

    thanks again mate.

    Yeah he was freaking me out a little, cause he looked like he was sitting on the ground in front of me.

    Where did you get those pics, they are pretty sweet man, just wondering if there's any of me.
