Le Mans sounds good but it's the weekend before Op Storm Wales, and the wife only has so much tolerance.....

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Off to Almeria!!
Just got back from Almeria , 4 days on track what a blast . Nothing there for miles so take plenty of water you’ll need it . It was a high of 30c while we were there a week ago ! Fantastic track and well suited to the Storm but be prepared to be passed on the long straight then brake like f*@k for a sharp right , it caught a lot of people out . And if it gets windy it can blow dust onto the track making it slipy !
But you’re in for a treat ,big grins all round !!!!

Yep went with Focused events , group 1 so novice group and lapping 2.14 ish . The fast groups were lapping 1.45s but the storm won't banck over enough on the bends , scraped out the foot pegs and my boot , was getting too close to the cans so had to start backing off a bit !

UPDATE!!
None of the f*****g bodywork fits!!
The tail piece wont go on and if it did the holes are all wrong!
The fairing just doesnt fit! Too narrow and too short by about 2"!!!
A mite peeved!
So I'll be doing it with the standard stuff! PITA!!!!
£200 wasted!! But Im not going to let it spoil my fun!!

Absolutely brilliant mate, I am very, very, jealous. Glad you had a good time.
