Road Race Season Starts... Tomorrow!


Just a few pics from a few weekends work over the last two months. No big project, just lots of little things to get Candy (the old 1998 Aprilia RSV... the B.A.M.F.) in shape for the short circuits.

Changed the geometry a lot... setup for short circuits is very different to the TT Mountain Course

Tomorrow I'm at Brands Hatch for the inaugural round of the Golden Era Superbikes with ThundersportGB. I started my road race career with Dave and Bernadette at ThundersportGB... almost exactly eight years ago... at Brands Hatch... on the same bike!

Them rear sprockets sure do build up a bit of heat around the IOM!





I haven't short circuit raced Candy since looping her and at Cadwell in Spetember 2006. She was a write-off... but was resurrected with great cost, time and effort. I'm hoping she remembers her way around these tight tracks and doesn't hold any grudges.

She's gonna look sweeter bustin' some moves around Brands tomorrow!

  2. You're kidding me?! OEM fairing on older models are horrid-whale-bulbosities. The pic above ain't flattering - I'll post pics of her bustin' moves around Brands soon...
