Seeing as it is the flavour of the month, I thought it was time for an update.
After being rained out at EC, I decided to get in a sneaky track day at Wakefield with a couple of mates just to test her out.
First session nice and slow, new bike, new tyres new track. Second session started to push her a bit. Third session gave her the berries; hard acceleration, late braking, going like a champ. I was running around the back of the track when a voice in my head said, GO IN. I looked at the instruments, all was fine, had a quick mental check, fine..... and this voice again, GO IN. There was no way I was going in, the session was still running and I've NEVER come in early. I decided to do one more lap and see if the voice went away. As I came towards the exit lane this voice again, GO IN.
Bugger me. I threw my arm up and hit the return lane. I rode past my mechanic who came out to meet me. 'What's going on?' he asked, 'bugger if I know', I said, 'something is wrong, but the bike's fine so it must be me'. He said, 'always listen to the bike'. I rode into the pits very confused.
All my coolant was sitting a few mill deep in my belly pan.
