What a fantastic day.
Weather was good, which is always a bonus .
Only a couple of red flags too, so 6 sessions again.
Myself, scooby601, bullet and pirate made the trip up through the early morning fog .
I missed diverdrew and dave
, i think, but i spoke to so many people that maybe we did meet unknowingly. 
Anyway, pirate did great for his first td, and hes looking forward to more.
Scooby and bullet were looking fast and sounding good too.
My bike deffo went better with -1 front sprocket and a change of oil to fully synthetic.
Managed to give the tyres some pain and wear both right knee and toe sliders out
to the displeasure of john the chief up there. He told me i was leaning the bike too far over at slower speed through the bus stop , and said he saw me have "A moment" as i was riding on the edge of the tyre . So I took his advice on board, and tried to go a bit faster but push the bike up onto the fatter part of the tyre. I was pleased he said he saw me have A moment , coz i thought i had about thirty 
I timed my laps, with my best being a 0.52 sec and the avg at 0.54 sec , so lots to work on, but enjoying every minute. Me and the guys got some good advice from Brian, who was green vesting, so thanks to him. Looking forward to Mallory now next month .
Had a relaxing journey home too, but run over a cat on the A38 which made me feel rotten.
Then got the news that Dippy Dave had a spill on his bike, and then sadly died .
RIP Dippy
Anyway thanks for a great day guys, and for all the support and encouragment from swb .
Will post pics and vid asap.
