Back in the saddle for the first time since South Africa in February 2020. I was shitting myself that I would be so scared of the power of the bike after a quick test run along the road. In South Africa I was getting a lot of chatter under braking so I changed the discs and pads. That did nothing. It turned out that the bushes in the forks along with 10W oil was causing it. I have had a K-Tech race kit installed in the forks and some 5W oil which (at an eye watering £560) have transformed the front end.

We were unfortunate to be subject to the current covid rules on Saturday which meant that we could only treat the day as free practice with no timing. It was to do with the amount of medical cover we could get. At least that gave everyone the time to get back in the swing of things. 

So Sunday morning and I qualified 4th on the grid. In both races I got a decent start and won my class by sitting behind the leading 2 supertwins ( getting a front row seat to their epic scraps) with a tidy gap to 2nd place.

Well happy with that. It was great to be back.
