Wow we sure were lucky with the weather up until Sunday afternoon. Blue sky and sun and dry perfect race track. I did the track day on Friday using my 1988 CBR400 NC23 and the Saturday and Sunday race days my CBR400RR NC29. Both bikes ran perfect but this old rocker sure felt in after 7 sessions around Cadwell on the Friday. It is a very physical circuit and ok for the young guns but not an old rocker. I was with our BRT Racing gang. Left to right Roger Yamaha FZR 600, Alex George ex Honda rider and three time TT winner who rode the Ducati TT 600,Neil team owner and builds all the bikes who couldn't ride this weekend due to a bad back but was due out on his Rob North triple, me the old rocker Honda's and finally Martin son of Neil who raced his Yamaha FZR600

Well done, I couldn't make it, major service time on the Sprint - first one I've done & it's left me wondering why modern "Technicians" don't seem to understand absolute cleanliness and proper use of the right grease, or why critical circlips must not be reused.
My hub retaining circlip came off dead easy and was a bit twisted and a bit soft, the new one needs more power than my hands can deliver these days, so I've ordered heavyweight pliers. OK I don't use the full potential of a 140mph bike, but that's no excuse for sloppy service work.
My Dad & big brother would have been furious if I serviced or prepared a vehicle to these modern standards - excellent precision engineering rubbished by morons.
