Oulton park was the last race,, I entered the open too as we only had one race, wet track qualified 20th in the open then not long after was our qualifying and I got onto the front row, 3rd, from about 30 bikes,,later on the open race I fucking dropped it on the warm up lap, broke my handle bar off, foot peg, shifter..
We got it ready in amazing time thanks to mates and missed the warm up lap for my race so they put me at the back of grid,,I started 28th and finished 15th, 5th in class,,a good day I suppose, not hurt, lol
I finished 3rd in our streetstock class overall, 8 trophys, very very happy and continually surprised how life throws these opportunities my way , I shocked myself, my friendsthink I am crazy,well,,,,,,maybe :lol

At Pembrey first time I had clutch slipping problems so I have learnt how to change the clutch, new plates in.
All this for £3200
Looks like a new bucket to go along with the bike.

Cheers boys, it's been fun.
I have now sourced a replacement frame so when all my maintenance on the race bike is done I will change the frame of the Fazer and put it back on the road,,it's sat in road trim now,, I may sell the blade and keep the Gen 2 fazer as I kind of am stretched to it now. :lol
