So after a little banter with some other guys who were in the same boat we pitched the pop up tents on the tarmac and bedded down. B*gger me it was cold
I knew there was a reason I don't like camping, just didn't remember what it was until Friday night 
It was nice to be able to get into the garages though
I took both bikes, the plan was to run the little fzr in the morning, and get some times on the race chrono and then run the ninja in the afternoon, to get used to it and see what its like. That plan went west thanks to Gaz after the first session
so I spent all but 1 session on the 7.Anyway the bike was pretty good, I got a mate to tweak the suspension settings, which really helped to plant the front end, and I managed to get my knee down through the esses (never managed to carry enough speed on the fizzer
)I managed a best time of 1min 6 which I was pretty pleased with, although Gaz was faster on my little fizzer
I have work to do I think
Nice to see Talan looking smooth everytime he went past me (which was quite a lot
)And also good to meet all the SWB members, I'll have to try and get to another get together sometime
riding his bike up his road to turn it around and a mixture of a new tyre and to much throttle sent Chris sliding down the road and his bike spinning and bouncing off the only lamppost in the street 
Bugger... 
Were you using tyre warmers Layne? I had exactly the same thing happen to me at a race meeting there in 2000 - an unexpected 3rd morning practice session was called and against my better judgement I decided to go out in it, having just done my best ever lap round the place (54s) in the previous session. Unfortunately they kept us in pit-lane for 5 minutes, enough for the tyres to lose sufficient heat and I went down in exactly the same manner after one lap, hurt myself and the race meeting was over for me before it had started
