Well what a good couple of days.
Went out on Monday, first time at Cadwell in over a year and first time riding the bike since May. Soon got up to a speed I was happy with and continued to improve all day.
Last session of the day, had a real blast with the instructors which lead to a conversation a bit like this...
"that thing of yours (superduke), It's just so quick out of the corners"
" well in that case you should hire more instructors on superdukes"
"If you fancy having a go at instructing, let us know when your available"
Was also nice to see Paul81 again and meet his mate D Bennet?
Got some footage to put up at some stage
Day 2 was a bit different, lot faster guys turned up but there was only about 14 in our group.
All was going well and I was getting even quicker than on monday. Been playing around with different Go Pro mounts, some worked but some didn't.
About session 3 as I was coming up to Park corner I got a few spots of rain on my visor, same at gooseneck. I was running Metzlers and was told they were rubbish in the wet, but as it was far from wet I decided to stay out on circuit. Then turning right at the bottom of the mountain the back of the bike let go, I was on my arse so fast I didn't have time to think.
Got it back to the pits to find a bent rear brake lever to be the worst of it, or so I thought..... bent the lever back then realised the actuator arm was also bent. I managed to make that workable and got out for the next session. Stuck with the metzlers as the "rain" never materialised
Continued the rest of my day until I noticed oil leaking from the cylinder base gasket on the rear cylinder:( decided to to call it a day as was only one session left.
All in all a good couple of days at Cadwell. Footage to follow....... one day
