  1. Nice livery! I love the union jack on the fairing. P.s. Carbon seats can be replaced - just as long as it wasn't you on the A303 then I'm sure your wife and bike are happy.
     
  2. Tell me about it. How stupid do I feel! Hopefully it's flipped off not to far from home and isn't in a million bits by now

  3. I lost a seat cover to my Blade a few years ago. Just felt like a numpty at the time. eBay sorted me out :smile:
     
  4. And not stuck in the windscreen of that car that was too close to you! :eek:

    If you dont get lucky, I've got a genuine red cowl, if that would blend in with the red belly pan and flag.

  5. I'm hoping not! If the police turn up at the front door I'll know where it ended up!

    Might see it tomorrow as my route to Silverstone is the same as I went today. I've put the proper one in for now, but thanks for the offer.

    The 14t has made a hell of a difference. The bike picks up loads better and feels a lot more free reving.

  6. The end result:smile:

  7. Ah that's ok if you still have the stock white one....I'd guess the white one looks good on there anyway.
     
  8. Was it your trackday today?
     
  9. It was. Enjoyed it, though I did learn not to jump straight back on a bike and ride it as I was on track last year. End of he national straight my ambition certainly outweighed my skill. It wasn't until the later sessions that I started to feel happy.

    Got my suspension done by Colin from 100% suspension. The bikes now a lot more. Compliant at the rear, so I get the power on earlier out of the corners. The front is now a bit stiffer/ settled so it doesn't dive so much under braking, but at the same time on releasing the brakes is more controlled on the rebound.

    As the next 2 sessions after I had it done were red flagged after 2 laps I left it at that as I was still getting used to it. 2 good sessions after lunch and I was getting quicker. The front perhaps needs a little more fettling, but I'll do that in Spain.
