Well, that was actually to gauge the size of the broken bit. It wasn't in the engine

The TT is all back together and seems to be going strong

I've just finished filling out the Three Bridges entry form, so I'm good to go

Thats put a halt to your 3rd gear monos Pete:D

Just picked up the PE175 (Gary's bike) from Mick Hone.

The clutch was a bit shagged so got Paul to check it out.  Apparently, the fibers were rooted, but the steels were perfect, and they are the originals!  So they were left in.  Added a new cable and a couple of spring pins to the mix and she's good to go for next Sunday.

So, I'll have my two PEs there.  Primary ride will be the 175, with the 250 as a spare!

Now with a newly fitted set of Barkbusters, she's ready to race........er, I mean.....RIDE!

Looking good Serge, although I think you need a few stickers to jazz it up a bit.
The 175 should be suited to the Three Bridges track pretty well.

I've just washed the TT after fitting a new rear tyre and giving it another quick blast around the paddocks.
It is all ready to go for next weekend.

Some happy snaps from after it's wash - I think it scrubs up pretty nicely :

Well, after spending 12 months healing my injured back (prolapsed disc), I'm finally feeling confident about riding hard and fast.

It was March last year when I damaged myself, so to be feeling (semi) fit again is a major milestone for me.

I'm looking forward to wrestling every last last ounce of performance from the TT on Sunday - It is looking (and going) spectacular, so I'm hoping to do well on the day.

The rain forecast for Saturday evening will keep the dust down, and make the tracks nice and loamy...

Who says its not a RACE!!!!

Will be trying to get there and enter on the day.

Bikes are loaded.
Gear is packed.
And it's p15sing down!

I'm ready (I think) for the first Vinduro of the season. 

Will be perfect-finally a break from dust!
