Thanks to Lozzo for coming to say hello and also to
Mark (the lurker) for all his help and the use of the
datalogger to see how shit I really was ;-)

Ended up at 1.07s in the wet, which I didn't think was
too bad at all given that you couldn't see **** all and
these are the same tyres I've had on the bike since I
started this season!

Much fun, except for the rain going down the back of
my neck and running between the cheeks of my arse.
Hopefully my gloves will be dry for the race in three
weeks time.

Just out of curiosity, was the photographer pissed?

I enjoyed watching. I didn't post earlier because I didn't want to piss
on your bonfire. You were going quite well considering the conditions,
it was fucking awful and I'm almost glad I backed out because of my
discs. I wouldn't have gone out in that sort of weather, I wouldn't
have had any fun at all.

 

She was a very nice young lady.

Mmm. My leathers are tasty this morning, I can tell ye.

 

The track was surprisingly grippy, even on the Diablos.
The difference between Brands and Donington in the wet
was really noticeable and the bike wasn't sliding at
all at Brands. Great fun!

The data logger worked well too - here's a preview...

(don't tell Mark though as he'll get cross with me
letting people see our top-secret test data ;-)

 

That looks remarkably like the apple & cream turnover I'm about to eat.

 

Given how wet it was when I was out on slicks at Brands, it really is
*very* grippy.

Data logging? There's posh!

 

It looks like a pissed pilot in the Heathrow stack.
