no idea how to reduce the size of the images sorry

[OzzieDave]

There is an ap for that, use edit in Pictures on an iPhone, or similar on Android.

I upload my images to https://myalbum.com/en

double header at cadwell park completed, mostly underwater. bike behaved impeccably as usual.

I had a problem with my injured left knee and managed to switch the bike across to race shift which was much easier for me.





Me Dad.






But now I have a serious dilemma. I have been poisoned by 170bhp of fireblade, and although I was leaving everyone in my group at the start of the weekend, come the end of the 2 days the litre bikes were starting to flex there muscles on the straights and bridged the gap quite comfortably, which was disappointing. I had a plan of building a race engine for the trx, and I would still do that, but I am starting to think its not going to be enough.

I have no place for 2 track bikes, so if I decide to keep the fireblade then I have to consider the thing I said I would never do and sell the trx.

Hoooruva slack on that chain on full extension

[coxylaad]

Yeah that was early doors, i tightened it up after that

One of the coolest things one could do is race a bike around with your dad.....enjoy.

It is, and you just made me sit and think about that - I am very lucky to have that

few more shots from the official photographers. just actually bought them for a change! mind you at 6 quid a photo no wonder people just nick them!

Good photos, is that Kayla's fella on the CB500?. I like riding in the wet, its a great leveller. I even enjoyed it on the ducati 749S last time out, although i didn't enjoy cleaning it! That was at the RAF Benson riding day.

[coxylaad]

yes thats Chris, Michaelas other half. we had some great battles

I think my trx was a little poorly, as it wasnt really keen to rev through the redline whereas before it was zing straight through to 9000rpm.
Also I couldnt outdrag chris on his cb500. its tuned but still I should have a horse power advantage there.

I'd a shitty couple of wet trackday sessions on mine a few weeks ago due to a misfire. Tracked(pardon the pun) it down to corrosion inside the right side HT lead (steel core, not copper) giving a high resistance. Amazing what a new pair of copper core leads can do to starting and low down grunt

[coxylaad]

that would explain a lot.

I wonder if its worth going down the coil over plug route to eliminate the need for leads altogether.

[dandywarhol]

I gave a lot of thought to that route, folks appear to praise CBR600 COPs but their is a big difference in primary winding resistances and I'm not clever enough to know how it could affect the TCI unit.
I'm going down the copper core wire and relay route with stock coils/resistor caps. The original HT leads lasted 20 years so £2.50 for new copper core leads might last another 20 years

[coxylaad]

but think of the weight savings

I might have to do the copper HT lead mod myself very shortly. I have just booked another weekend at Cadwell on 7th and 8th october.

no doubt it will be pissing down again haha
