All Tyred Up!

The heating in my house was broke this last weekend - the coldest weekend in Britain so far this winter. -5 Celcius on Sunday morning - Yay. With the Chev-dawg also broke, I had a wee hire car. It was warm in the car and easy to warm the insulated garage... so that's where I spent most of the weekend.

I went down to London to visit Don Plane of Southern Cross Motorcycles. He sorted me out with some new rubber and some scrubbs that I can use for practice. I filled the wee car to the roof. Holy crap! A set of slicks, some intermediates AND wets. Almost like a professional race team! Just need a plug-in heating rack now... then I can use it in my lounge too  ;-)

Don also got me this tasty Oberon clutch slave cylinder. I never bothered with improving clutch lever feel before... because you only really use it once in a race. Always got on with the standard setup... but after fitting an Oberon to the Ducati 888 - I felt the difference. We'll see how this works on track. I figure if it gets me just 1 place further up the field into turn 1, it'll be worth it.

A lot of checking, measuring, cleaning, checking again was done too. And an oil change...

Rock on with RockOil! They sponsored me many seasons ago... I still have some of  the honey they sent me. I should probably try get them onboard again.

My camera is also broke, hence the crappy pics. There is a theme here. I'm getting broke things out of the way for the rest of 2015.

Still got a lot of work to do on the old girl and need to replace a few things that she donated to other race bikes over the years... I also got a quickshifter I am going to try and fit to the standard gear change lever. Just 6 weeks till her first outing :-)
