Now leaving for Gatwick

Just managed to get this bad boy delivered in time...

Not actually sure we can setup today but we?ll try.

Also not sure if any forum members will attend as Baz and Kls have had to change plans as far as I know.

Portim?o

Portim?o is quite possibly the best, and most physical, race track that I've ridden in Europe. Enjoy!

Hope to stay upright...

Portim?o

I would definitely recommend staying upright at Portim?o as its not the kind of place you want to crash at as the circuit is just so fast!!!

Have a great time buddy ! Awesome track, hated it the 1st day, loved it the 3rd day lol. Take yr time to learn it...... Think it was just after turn 7 over the brow where Tom Sykes had his big one :hurt:

Hotel on site is bloody expensive, circuit caf? is good as was evening hospitality upstairs.

Jealous..........

No set up possibility yet. Having to entertain ourselves.

Too lazy to go get the shorts on.

Side stand mods made.
Rapidbike tolerance change made.
Pegs moved up and fwd.
Aim Solo fitted. (The screws on the back seem to not go in. Have to rely on the magnets?)

[bananaman]

Screws I think are sprung loaded? Mine is just held with the magnets due to the location

I stuck a tie wrap around cause I was unsure

2:12.55 for day one. Loving the Solo. And the track is great, physical, scary but fun.

Bikes running well. Dunlops are awesome (though I have invested in 2sets of V02?s on special from FWR this week, not with me).

Only got the footage from one session, but in it is a monster wheelie

Crazy track.
2:09/2:10?s today pleased with that, considering I manage it without using knee sliders

Stuck this bad boy on for the morning...
