Track day prep.

This is the most preparation I've ever done for a track day. Normally I give the bike a once over just like I do for a normal ride and go. Lights, mirrors and indicators all left on. Lot's of 1st's on this track day. 1st for the Bitubo, 1st for the 1.0kg/mm fork springs, 1st for Super Corsa SC1 Front and 190/55 SC1 rear. 1st with the M4 system on. (1st with no lights and mirrors too

)

It's on Tue the 20th, I'll bore you all with the details when I get back.

I got hold of some race glass after my last trackday and thought I'd better use them.

Front fitted up without the screen.

Overflow bottle in position, it's mounted to the lower headlight mounts. It came with the fairings.

Got this from Mike at 2Wheeltours at a group buy price last Christmas. 1st test coming up.

Using some mirror block off plates I got in a group buy on TLP for the 1st time too.

Ready to roll. (I have no TLP sticker to put on it

)

I think I'll give these a good going over before I put them back on after the ride.

Don't ask it's a long story. My riding name (By Fabrictech designs

Why is your riding name Woman?

With so many NEW things on the bike - take it easy on the track until you get the feel for everything. Looks SAH-WEEEET!

Told you not to ask.

Besides riding like one!

15+ Years ago I met a group of great people that all rode. (And we still do when we can get together, in-between marriages, divorces, kids, baby sitters, being bikeless etc). Every one had a "W" name.

Wombat, Wench, Wilbur, Wiley, Wheelie, Worm, Wantz, Wish, Wog, Wig, Wally, Wouse, Woose, Wiz, Woops and more. They had been thinking of a "W" name for me for a while but had no luck until I opened my fat trap one night. We'd been out and when we got back someone asked me to make them a coffee and being a smartarsed chauvinist I retorted with "do I have a skirt on?" or something like that. Took them about 2 seconds to decide. End of story.
