7th you say Chappers, which layout, and with whom?
Can't do the 23rd unfortunately due to work. I'm trying to hold off until after I finish uni really, because I don't need to get injured now.

Roll on the 23rd i want to try and progress my body positioning,i have adjusted my rear sets so i can keep on the balls of my feet more easily and retracted my clipons to stop me overeaching for the bars so that me nuts arnt tight to the tank restricting me arse movement.This all going well lower my head down to the side of the screen and i should be able to carry more corner speed resulting in getting some more time off.Any thoughts Chappers ?

I think you look bloody good mate there's fuck all I can say you positioning is better than mine, apart from recomending Stomp Grip it's great stuff.
It's a shame you aren't doing the daytime trackday as I have the camera set up sorted on my bike and would have been happy to try to follow you for a session so you can see yourself on track.
If it's any help I have a load of riding technique manuals in PDF form I can email you if you like just PM me an eamil addy.
:-
Sport Riding Techniques (never read)
The Soft Science of Road Racing Motorcycles(never read)
A Twist of The Wrist II (boring)
A Twist of The Wrist(dead boring)
Cornering Explained (never read)
Have your been recording the series on California Superbike School on Motors TV every Friday the couple I saw were decent and had good info.

Cheers Chappers PM sent.
I recently had my front forks played with and they are now very close to the settings given to me by K tech this has made a great difference to the line i can now hold and the amount of feedback i get.Prior to this i was running wide everytime i tried to up the pace resulting in 3 across the grass excursions and an off at the bottom of Paddock with a few front end slides which i found are quite exciting.Now i have the bike working properly i have more confidence and think that by sorting my positioning out i can improve further.
I have watched some of the Superbike school on the box but the ones i see didnt give much away but i did only watch a few.
Cheers

Glad you guys had a good un fuck knows when I'll get out again, the kids are costing me a bomb ATM we are just off this morning to get a new(ish) 65 for my middle son.
Maybe I should learn to write English so I can blag gear, tyres and trackdays.
