Macie_UK 0 Posted May 13, 2012 Small child lost it taking someone on the outside down the Devil's Elbow, which as you may know is taken at a bit more than 5mph. Him and bike had a bit of a sledging session down the tarmac, the bike went flippy flippy and Mike was still rolling quick enough to get acquainted fairly robustly with the tyre wall . No, the rear subframe shouldn't be pointing that way Feels a bit bit 'second hand' at the mo, but nothing obviously broken (on him, not the bike!). Just got back so will chuck the details up in another post at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I normally watch from inside Edwina's, but this time I was up on the tower thingy, so saw it all, which in a weird way was better than just not see him come round for the next lap.[1] Much use of scaffold bar and large hammer to straighten subframe, bars and engine mount bolts. Made the top half of the fairing reach the fairing stay with Heath Robinson use of metal, brackets and rivets, drilled and zip tied on a new screen, zip ties, plates and 3 rolls of gaffa tape on fairings, grinder on the engine cases and pegs to get rid of sharp edges, bypassed the split expansion tank, chucked on the spare wheels and get a scruitineering pass just as the final assembly call goes out [2] That didn't end well, either.
