    S'OK. AndyR did me a backup copy of the 'net onto
    this CD last week.

    I was thinking of a couple of outings at Donington , probably mid to
    late summer. I'll need a full set of race plastics first, no way am I
    taking it on a track with road plastics on.

    wittery prose along the lines of:

    Heh, you couldn't email me a copy could you, before he starts
    apologizing?

    I wouldn't. You'd be going blue before very long. :)

    We'll see. £150 for a fairing against £700 for replacement Suzuki
    ones if it goes down. I know what I rather crash it with.

    Yeah, it's around 150 for just the sides, another 100 for a top and 80
    for a seat unit, all road with light cut-outs etc. In fact I may buy
    all these, get a secondhand tank off ebay, paint them matt black and
    leave them on until I come to sell it :)

    Stealthed Thou.
    Not after I've waited so long for it.

    Quite seriously, I can see the appeal in that.

    If you're minimising the risj of a drop on a track day, then you don'w
    want 'raod' stuff with cutouts - you want race stuff, and remove all
    the lights completely. This is probably actually easier to fit and
    remove, cos, for example, the headlight unit is fitted to the top half
    road fairing. If you do have a smash, you don;t want to have to shell
    out for a headlight.

    Also, 50 quid on crash bungs is a good idea too. My ZX7R went down at
    Donnington this year and what with the crash bung and race plastic was
    effectively undamaged.

    Heh. I get that a bit with mine, with the black tank cover an the
    non-gixxer-like silver/black colour scheme. I surprised quite a few
    people touring through France in September, all luggaged up, like. For
    some bizarre reason, people don't expect a bike all loaded up to come
    past them at 150+ :-}

    You forgot the Des-esque conversion into mph for us non-frogs.

    No I didn't. As you well knew, you tinker.

    Oddly enough, I tend to post things in common UK units when talking to
    other brits. Bit of a strange habit, I know, trying to be more clearly
    understood by the target audience, but one of which I just can't seem
    to break myself.

    An experienced hand like you won't bite on that. I should have known.
    A laudable habit, I'd say.
