w00t! Have put the sump back on as well as the pipes and radiator and no leaks of any sort from anywhere! So all is looking very good! Now all that is left is to throw the race fairings on and secure them down with the makeshift wooden bracket I made earlier

I wonder if I should have rather opted to go in the slower group?
If I'm lagging behind in the medium group after the first session I could always change right?

Yes! Got the Pirelli Supercorsas on that I scored from LooseBruce, in the process Bungy at Cycletreads lowered my forks as i asked him, then got carried away tinkering with my suspension settings!!! The bike feels totally different, seems really stable in a straight line, it hesitates a bit to turn in but once its over it wants to keep on going which is a little unnerving. Will have my steering damper sorted tomorrow ready to go so it'll be interesting to see how it feels on the track. Really looking forward to this, but dont laugh if im going a little slow!

Tks for that, worthy of study! So is that the "International" circuit I've heard some speak of, or can it be lengthened even more?

TBH, i havent a clue.
I think the completed track will be different from what we see there now, what we will be riding (I think) is just a temp thing.
But yeah, i dont really know!
