What have we done??!!??

Good to meet you at Brands on Wednesday Steve and glad you got the exhaust bracket sorted after your assessment. It was nice to have someone else in the novice group doing the ACU Test.

Great Blog too and for what it's worth I have had pretty much the same kind of thoughts as you with regards to getting out there!

Thoughts that were polarised by a wet track, tyres 3'' wide and (apart from riding the bike up and down my road to make sure it didn't cut out) my first proper ride since buying my 1965 Ducati Mach 1 last August with the intention of going classic racing next season.

As for brake pads- you should try drums to put things in perspective (still only needed the front though so I guess it's all relative) and then add to that a right foot gear change with a race pattern 'up for down' and 'down for up' shift.

Anyway, good luck with it all, I will try and get along to a meeting or two and see how you're doing.

All the best,
Flip.
