A good run up to Shakespeare County Raceway yesterday.
I raced all day against a mate on a Hornet 600.
I beat him of the line every time, but he caught up and overtook me, his best time of beating me was only 0.34778 of a second.
Here is my times

It was a damn good day to see what the bike and me could do.
Yamaha 600 Fazer, UK registered in 2000 (Y Reg). 47k Miles, comes with 2 months MOT, and 5 months Tax. Good reliable runner, on the button first time and everytime, and she pulls really well. Recent full service which included Plugs, air filter, oil & oil filter ect. Recent new EBC front disks and pads. Bike is a little scruffy around the edges but wont let you down, ; just needs a little TLC, or maybe will make somebody a cheap summer hack
I of course have the V5.
Priced to sell at £599 O.N.O
Located in London, about 3 miles from The Ace Cafe
Does anyone ever go Loomies on a Wednesday night? I'm currently in Andover, and that seems to be the local watering hole. Not been yet, need an excuse to go!!
Would a piece snapped off your brake lever cause the throttle grip to vibrate and numb your hand?
And should the front wheel be balanced
Any help appreciated
Got another question for you all - would anyone be interested in buying crash protection off an aquantance I know that can manufacture it? I know him through the ZX9R forum I was on, where he manufactured fairing sliders (big ones like R&G make), bar ends, swingarm and fork protectors and bobbin type ones as well, which were all extremely well regarded by the members of the forum, a great deal of whom had also had cause to test them, with excellent results! (well, as excellent as a crash can be!)
I think initially they would be offered for the FZS 600 (i'm assuming all years, as they're pretty much the same bike!) as it's the bike I've got so I could supply measurements for him, but his range could potentially be extended out to cover the other FZS and FZ models if people lived nearby so could pop round for a measure up, or could supply the photos and measurements that he would require in order to make them?
Prices were very reasonable, I think the main ones for the Ninjas were about £50, but they were also considerably more complex than would be required on our bikes (as they had to have a modified coolant bottle supplied, which if you returned your original was also good for a £10 cashback), and the fork, swingarm and bar ends were about £20 each I believe. All top quality stuff as well!
