New Bike Aprilia RSVR now in sound of thunder class.
Pembrey testing 7/8 march .
The weather was awful.It never stopped raining.Leathers have shrunk over the winter! The caravan (a £300 ebay bargain ) was perfect much better than sleeping in an old van. Times poor but an ok weekend bike etc all ok.

What can i say very poor performance , could not get it together lap times about 6 seconds off my best .Weather very good, cannot blame the bike .Roll on Snetterton.

Much better weekend although the weather was very changable.Changed wheels about four times.Saturday spent learning the circuit and getting the gearing sorted.Sunday in damp conditions my first top ten on the new bike.The mille suits big open circuits.Very happy looking forward to cadwell.
