    Great story Glen

    I know for sure after one or 2 more test days, you will be a lot faster in the dry, than what you are at the moment, even though you are going very very well.

    Your bike was still set up as per the manfeild VERY WET test settings, ( Which obviously work extremelly well for you)

    The current set up, is as Chris OZ did for you for the Manfeild test, They are all the settings that I rcorede for reference for the future and wet conditions.

    Now just for a day or 2 of Dry tests, to find what is the best Dry set up for you.

    I know a lot of riders change bugger all from wet to dry, but the fast boys change a lot realy, and WE will find both the combinations that work for you

    Having Chris and Mishy and Robert Taylor working with us, will only lead to brighter things.

    PS, leathers and boots look fantastic mate

    Huge plessure working with you man, stay as focused as you are, and all of New Zealand will be watching you on International television programmes with in 2 years mate.

    PS, big thanks to BILLY for the painting on the spare body work, great job as per

    PPS, I am sure you would have gone even faster in the last race, ( IF I HAD RE SET YOUR FORK PRE LOAD)

    Ohlin's and Conti tyres

    Thanks to both for what you supplied for Glen, all is working brilliantly.

    Excellent write up Glen. You, your bike, the website all look really slick.
    The way you are riding I guess I am not going to see much of you this series. (I hope you don't lap me !!)
    See you on the dummy grid maybe

    Hey Shaun,

    Cheers for your comments mate, I look forward to doing the test days and improving my dry times!

    And as you said, the Ohlins and Conti Tyres worked an absolute treat, especially in the wet. Conti have the best wets I have ridden on and I've even been lucky enough to ride on MotoGP 250GP wets. As soon as I start riding fast enough, i'll be proud to say the same of the proddy tyres!

    Bring on round 2!!

    Cheers,

    -Glen
