Well I don't want this to turn into some sort of oscar night thank you speech, but big thanks to Andy G for the loan of the front sproket retaining plate after mine fell off in the third session.

Suppose I'd better also say thanks to the eagle eyed track marshal who found my missing clamping bolt from the bottom yoke whilst he drove round the track in his pick-up. I just thought the front end 'chatter' was from the high speeds I was entering the first corner.

Thanks to Dave Ett for taking the time to give me a little coaching. After learning how to brake properly for the tight first corner, my arms and legs are now shagged from trying to hold on.

Finally Stephen for fitting the new clutch plates, (and Andy for roughing up the steel plates) whilst I looked on. I can't beleive they didn't tell me to do it....must love tinkering with NSR I guess. And I thought that it was the rear lighting up as I exited the last corner...not an over abused clutch finally giving up!

Good to meet you all, must do it again some time. Brands anyone.....Leigh I know you want too?
