    Hey Marshy, what condition is the track and access road in? Have the fixed it up? Or will we still have to use the track to access the pits?

    They've flattened the bumps in T1!
    It's HEAPS better through there. 5 is still a bit bumpy but no big deal.
    Tunnel is still out of action but it might be bavk by tomorrow.

    Thanks man! I bought a new relay so I can have two bikes at once!!
    Oooh, do you still have a fairing stay??

    Hmmmm, I'm two seconds off on the #2 bike!!... Ended up swapping out for the K-Tech. Not had a chance to test that yet but hopefully that's the magic ingredient...

    That was you at the back of 26?? Sorry mate, was a little distracted and I didn't really have a chance to say hello!

    Ahhh seems smart having 2 running bikes. Unfortunately i sold the fairing stay not to long ago i know i should have kept it around but my new one is indestructible apparently.

    So, is it bike set up, or rider input, or a bit of both? To lose the front through there the same way twice, something is not right. Which part of the corner is it happening?

    Next time you go through there, pay attention to how hard you are gripping the bars and consciously loosen your grip to see if it makes a difference. I also vary my throttle input as I go through the dip and then spin the rear up after it to square the bike up to drive down the hill, which decreases the chance of the front sliding.

    Thanks for the input, Rob. You're spot on. The pre-load adjustment was out, so the front end wasn't tracking the fall off in track whilst I was on the gas, as well as it could be.
    Happily I got away with relatively minor damage. New intake/fairing stay and the fairings!
