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.

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.
