SOAR Practice Weekend

First time running the bike this season, no changes to the bike but planning to try stiffening the suspension. We ran Technical in the morning but a load of dirt had been kicked up on to the track from turn 2 through to the second 90 degree corner – turn […]

Technical layout – my favourite. Lost the front end in turn 2 in Am Old Folks on Sunday but got back on and managed to finish the race – leathers were scuffed up nasty on the left elbow and hip but the new Shark helmet didn’t get marked, very happy […]

2022 SOAR – Round 3

It was long layout and I struggled to find grip and confidence in turn 5, the second hairpin left. The practice day was wet so I was out on the B bike with the wet tires on – it was great! Danny loaned some wet tires to Heather so we […]

First opportunity to test the new A bike was at a private practice day that Danny sorted out. I threw the bike in Danny’s trailer and we headed out the night before but when we offloaded the bikes, I found that my front triple stand hit the upper fairing so […]

2004 CBR600RR #2

Stu

After selling the ZX6R this bike was listed on FB for a good price and since it’s the exactly same year, make and model as my other bike they can share parts, so I did a deal. It came fully race prepped with, The grey paint is just primer so […]

The final round of the 2021 season, a special round with a 6 hour endurance on the Friday and then full races on Saturday and Sunday. It was my favourite Technical layout and I had my best two races of the season on Saturday – top ten finishes in both […]

Josh wanted to do an endurance race and offered his bike to use so we enlisted Danny and entered team Old Fast Slow. The endurance race is 3 hours long, the team that has completed the most laps at the end is the winner. We ran 20 minute sessions each […]
