Hi All,
Fantastic skiing in Carroz! Whilst I was gone, they changed some dates :-
- 11 et 12 avril à Carole
- 2 et 3 mai au Vigeant
- 9 et 10 mai à Croix en Ternois
- 13 et 14 juin sur un circuit encore à confirmer
- 8 et 9 août au Vigeant
- 29 et 30 août à Carole
- 19 et 20 septembre à Croix en Ternois avec une épreuve d'endurance
- 10 et 11 octobre à Nogaro
This blog has changed more to be about the bikes in my garage than racing, but hey, I will still be using the RD 350 YPVS and the RG500 on track!

Got the fairing lined up
I was dreading putting the top of the fairing on the bike, because I really thought the extra width of the forks would make life a misery when fitting the fairing. Well good news is that it lines up pretty well, and the clipons don't hit the fairing on either lock. I still need to sort out a way of putting stop locks on the bottom yoke to stop the forks and avoid any damage if it falls over.
I also received some overflow bottles from one of the guys on the French RG500 forum - nice guy lives in Valence, and sent me loads for free!
The brakes have been bled but I had to move the master cylinder banjos around so I need to blead them again.
I ordered a left hand thread rose joint to complete my gear lever rearset, and they sent me a RH threaded one...doh! They will send another one for free!
My Michelin Tyres have not been sent yet apparently Michelin haven't yet made the medium fronts, so I have gone for a soft front and medium rear and hopefully these will arrive during my holiday next week.
That's it for now.

Le Mans cancelled
Well the title says it all really.... The first race of the year will be replaced by a weekend at Le Vigeant (near Poitier), on the 8/9th August. The downside is that I was really looking forward to going back to Le Mans to race on the Bugatti circuit. The upside is that I will have a few more weeks to prepare the bike!!
I've pretty much finished the rearsets, this weekend I need to fit the fairing.
