Re: aintree 13th june
nah mate, you want a 15/44 to 15/46 depending on engine tune and rev limit.
I run a 15/45 there with a tuned motor and sp cdi, but could probs do with a 44.
its a great little track mate..and cheap!
see ya there

Re: aintree 13th june
Alrite Gaz.
I work it one up at the front from anglesey/oulton. I was on 15/48( same as 14/45 thereabouts) up at anglesey mate. Just put a 15 on the front for practice, and take a 45/46 with ya in case its short.
Still gutted about anglesey, havent fixed me bike yet, but only a bent bit here and there.
gonna sell it soon and get an L built

Re: aintree 13th june
aye, bent clipon,footrest ,crashbung and paddockstand bobbin.. not a mark on the bodywork!
Nah sold the sp box to some dude at aintree, just could'nt get my head around it and went thru one clutch to many!
I just fancy giving the L a go, see if it holds a tighter line to stop black/green zxr's going up the inside
Ive got most bits anyhow, and they are a bit lighter than the H

Cheers Ben

Re: aintree 13th june
I think Gaz did good first time there in all. I carried on my form from anglesey mate.
broke down in practice with a melted loom from a knackered coil, fixed it, then had a stupid crash after 1 lap... Im either due some good luck, or need to learn how to ride properly
how was cadwell?
