Yes indeed a nice trip to Northamptonshire for the Suzuki Track day. Weather should have been dry, it was wet as Mick said, until the afternoon, by which time I was knackered, far too much tensing up when its wet and peoples lines are very varied around you, wits needed and total concentration. Quiet a lot of red flags and long stoppages, bit of a pain as it a bloody long way round...
Felt good with the wets on, going ok, until some strange moment when coming in the pit I just ended up in a stoppie that then went off to the side, me doing a superman impression with the bike ending up on top of me.... Leg bruised and swollen, but I still went out in the next session, but could not really put much pressure on so called it a day, i think I only missed one session. But I did make full use of all the time i had before..

However it is now Wednesday and this was Monday, I have a sore body, things are starting to hurt all over, I seem to have a bump on my head which was not there :) on the plus side my leg is going down and I can walk up and down the stairs which I could not do Monday night.

Sounds like you took a bit of a whack, better to be safe IMO.

See a Physio about your leg, Frankie. A good one can even diagnose fractured bones with a tuning fork.

Hope you feel better soon, mate.

Stoppies? Thought you were a wheelie King? You're turning into our resident stunter Frankie!

On a serious note, fingers crossed it's nothing serious and a quick recovery is on the cards. (y)

Mainly testing out the ZX10R - I won't write a report but I'll say now it's outdated and it didn't ball me over.

It's quick but it has the same feel as a ZX6R only faster. And what is wrong with that dash...bloody thing only has 3 buttons to control it yet is a confusing system Image

A final shakedown and adjust of the shift lever position then gave it a good check over and fitted the top box rack, I leave at dawn (ish) heading for Liverpool.

Fwiw I think what you've already said, in conjunction with Blade's recent experience, says enough about them for the moment mate.?
