unfortunately I've drawn a complete blank. My brother's mate who's got a shop has fucked off to some crappy festival in Readiing and the stunt guys use much larger sprockets...

Sorry Kenny, I use smaller fronts and I've only 44 and 46 rears (R6 fitting) - I got them from B&C Express. I expect you've tried the tyre vans in the paddock?

Well the first race day has been and gone and what a day its been.
I have never raced in conditions as bad as that, scarey scarey scarey.
Unfortunately the clutch went at the end of lap one so (as weather so bad) I eased the bike round using 4 gears only as putting the bike in fifth just made the clutch slip worsererer.
Had to pit for fuel but only lost me two placings. Well pleased with the tenth place and a silver rep.
500 is ready for Wednesday hope the weather is better.
Our race was in the morning today and the rain, fog and high winds kept your wits on edge, but I was surprised the 600 race set off. After all the tyres they have and the power didnt make for a good race.
Quite a few retirements and off's including the fatal of Wayne Hamilton. RIP Wayne.
Onwards
