Morning everybody.
I have no idea why it's taken me so long to find this forum, but I'm pleased I have.
Some 35 years on bikes, including riding in Europe.
Never done a track day but that may change now that my insurance includes comprehensive track day cover.
Questions welcomed.

My signature shows my bike.

It is a Kawasaki ZX10R 2010 model on an 11 plate. Black with some gold bits.

Who said riders can't have the same clear vision as drivers?

You can see the sticker at the bottom of the forks that I have had them sorted by MCT of Stowmarket.
Handling transformed after their rebuild with new springs, oilways drilled and new oil.

They're putting crap standard suspension on top-of-the-range sports bikes too?! Shocked Jeezuspleezus!

Lovely looking bike, welcome to BCF.


Oh wait, he's down south. No good to me. NEXT PLEASE!

No I don't.

When I was 15 me and a mate used to ride his Puch moped round a field near us. Does that count?

A mate used to keep his custom Triumph in their dining / living room.

I ride whenever the weather suits, and clean the bike when it gets a bit too manky.

Fortunately I don't commute.

MCT are now sorting suspension on brand new bikes ridden to them direct from the dealer on day of purchase.

The oil used by manufacturers is of minimal quality and foams too easily.

Plus Darren at MCT is mustard at setting the preload, compression, and rebound. When he did my bike forks I also had the head bearing replaced with a taper roller and the work took around 3 hours. He then took my bike out to set it up. He was gone 25 minutes.
He returned it with "plush but sporty" settings.
Brilliant.

I have no connection with that business.
