They where scrubs from the mini-twins, but had only done a single session. The front is still good, the rear lasted about a day (taking into consideration the late start) there is still some life left but not much

Ahh I see. Understandable not wanting to push it further but the scrubs helped for a day for you to learn the track so that's good

How did the new TD bike go Nutz ? You happy with it or got any changes planned over winter ?

gutted i missed this sounds like you had a good time:-)

glad you had a great time lads,im definitely up for one of these ,i did Almeria a few years ago and it was mega

Cheers mate, it was a lot of fun the track is great, Almeria for 2016 is likely to have two dates, a 3 day trip and a two day trip.... Around April and May. I will be making one of them, hopefully the three day event.
The end of the year could include Jerez again or Cartagena or both....

It was good mate, the suspension is well setup already and suits my weight. The handling is very stable and predictable, the only thing really missing is a bit of power.

I'm going to have the carbs balanced over the winter, the only other jobs are to blow out and reseal the petrol tank as their is a small leak and to service the steering damper as it's making funny noise. The rest will be just general maintenance.

Sounds like its pretty much spot on already Nutz. Nice one dude. I guess its just a case of throw tyres at it now and enjoy it
