What a little bundle of sweet joy that bike is. It's ideal for days like today. Quick enough, excellent handling, strong brakes, pretty good quality suspension. The tyres were spot on while it was dry but I had another massive rear spin up in the wet as the rear stepped out at the same time. Thankf...

Stonking ride out. Great roads, great company and home to bath and a few beers. That A488 from Crossgates to Knighton is worth a trip on its own. Lovely quiet, twisty and undulating piece of road. Must try and do it again soon. Cheers Kwacky and Itchy.

Emptied the oil and water.

Need to remove the crankcase cover to check the water pump seal. It can wait until tomorrow.

I'll be there at 5 all being well. Will be on the Multi though.

I want to become a bigamist.

This lovely lady asked me to marry her yesterday at Silverstone.

Going to have a look myself first. No cash left in the bike saving tin at the moment.

If its the water pump i reckon i could do that myself.

999 holds the record for number of wins in WSBK I believe. TBH it looks better in race bike trim than road trim.

Kingfixer's bike is a thing of beauty and it does indeed look like a full on racebike.

Doing some reading up it seems the water pump seal is the place to start. Hopefully its that simple.

Seems like i may have a more serious issue with mine too. Water appears to be getting into the oil.

Other than that it was a really good day and enjoyed my first day on track for some years.

Rick at JHP appears to have sorted it. Temperature fine all that session and I really enjoyed it. Not the slowest nor the fastest but huge fun.

Had one session. Forgot how tiring track riding can be. Having a few issues with bike running hot. Just refilled radiator. Sat this session out and will be ready for next one.

Anyone ever been? Client and friend asked me if I would like to join him as a guest on Court 1 on the 13th.

Difficult but I think he is old enough to know what he wants. He might miss it in6 months and want to go back to it.

I have the Corsa which is one below top of the range Pista but it's a pure sportsbike helmet and no sunvisor.

If yes go for the new K5-S. it's top value at £290 rrp. Carbon and fibre shell and comes in multiple sizes.

Do you want an internal sun visor or not?
