Game on.lets see if I can make up the 100cc difference
Image
Update:
I couldn't...
Got into the 7's on one run though.

It's a bit rich, I nearly couldn't bring the bike because a fault turned off the traction control and ABS.
Yesterday at the sprint I wanted to turn off the traction control and ABS but couldn't.... :think:

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

Hi Chris I managed 7.47
seconds over the eighth of a mile reaching 103 mph and finished 7th in class, so was pretty happy with that. ImageImage

Ah. Last time I sat on a bike that wasn't mine I ended up buying one.
Rutter's notoriously tight, so I won't get much discount off the £30k plus vat he wants for it.....

But I can beat him down the cost of lights and indicators, with a bit of luck.
And a new MOT.

Your welcome Chris.
It was our final evening as Tracy and I head back tomorrow, so we had a lovely pub meal overlooking the bay with Tony & Nicole. Such a great way to end a brilliant holiday. ImageImageImageImage
