Good day for sure. Thanks to Padd, Mark and Mikb who also popped over to catch up and watch. :thumbup :beer

I really need to learn a bit more about:

a) What I am supposed to be doing. :oops:
b) How to launch this bike. :roll:
c) What revs I should be changing gear at. :?

Heyho. :banana

It was a fun day and good to meet fellow forum members.
As Padd said we all struggled to launch well. I guess it's just practice and familiarity with the bike. In my case I hardly do any miles on mine, apart from yesterday's almost 500 mile round trip. When I had my first turbo in the 80's it was my only means of transport and a daily driver so I was well used to the speed and power. Yesterday the wheel spin and front lifting frightened me to death so on most of my launches I was having to shut off twice.
I don't know if it's just the view on my computer but I can only see half the timing screen shot. I would like to say that out off the three of us I had the highest terminal speed :victory

Must've been a good day. Fell asleep as soon as I got home. Re-match at Shakey sometime, or would a northern event get more :thumbup ?

Two other things I forgot, MikB, good to see you again but where was the Turbo ??

Mark, went to grab a drink before we left and saw the cash in my wallet for the K&N.... D'oh.
PM me your PayPal account and I'll whack some more over to you.

Any videos anyone? I forgot to take my camera.

Good to see you all yesterday, Padd my Turbo is still waiting for me to do the head transplant hence the Ducati ditch pump!

Mark Skinner took some pics yesterday I have sent the link to you and Marks Facebook inbox's.

Yeah, spotted Marks album on Facebook, Mark is a brilliant photographer and is worth an add on Facebook just to see what's going on at The Pod. Look up Mark Skinner.

He caught me a few times on Saturday but didn't get the other guys, don't know why there weren't that many bikes!
