Yes indeed, if it's a turn out like last weekend it quite enjoyable just hangin' out, would quite like to see the Concours on the track though.

We are going over to have a look again, all so to maybe do some lap timing

to see if a weeks rest has may any difference.

Was a great day out last weekend

**cowboyz** · 15th January 2009, 16:38

well a weeks break and new wheel bearings so everytime I accelerate and brake the bike doesnt want to throw me off and I am expecting a good day out.

Excellent, so some good lap times to be had then.
Hopefully the rain will stay away

You got that balancing issue sorted then?

**cowboyz** · 15th January 2009, 17:43

yep. Problem wasnt the balancing. it was a fucked wheel bearing. But it didnt have the courtesy to be completely fucked. just a little fucked so I couldnt feel it on the road but when I was on the track the bike was handling like crap. Should be better now (I hope)

My record on manfield on the 9 is not flash. Last time my exhaust fell off. This time wheel bearings packed up. 3rrd time lucky!

Here's to hope!

I got the L plate sorted finally with left over mesh (radiator guards) for backing! Now I'm hoping it doesn't fall off!
