I haven't had chance to do much on the bike this week but I have managed to sort a few things out! The 2nd gear from Rotax, Austria finally arrived this week so as soon as Steve gets back from his Easter break he can crack on with the engine, hopefully having it finished so it be be put back in next weekend. I also visited Ray of LRM Fibreglass to see what fairing would be better, I opted for the TZ250E which has a slightly wider front than the D, and Ray says it should be ready for me by the end of the week, however I may not have time to have it sprayed as it will need mounting when the engine and exhausts are in place in case of any alterations. The first meeting is at Cadwell Park, May 16th & 17th, then the following week at Angelsey, Ash has already said that he will not be doing this round as he will be unable to get time off work and the running costs will be coming out of one months budget. June sees the European Supermono Association racing at the British Superbike meeting at Snetterton, and if Ash is able to lose his novice vest he will be eligable to enter. I entered this race last year but came off at the Bombhole due to water running over the track, even so it is a prestigious event that can only be good for our class.
My name sake in Indiana, USA. has almost finished his Yamaha FZR400 and its looking the Dogs Swingers too, we have really hit it off yet we have never spoken,(something I intend to remedy in the near future!), and its uncanny how much alike we are, although Im sure he is a better rider than I was or ever will be!! I wish him the best in his racing.
