DP Cadwell
KR did well. Poor thing was held together with sticky tape and plaster - much unloved. Went to Cadwell with the engine out as it was knackered. As it turned out we couldn't use the replacement engine so old engine went back in. Bit of setting up Friday afternoon. Saturday a 1'39.05" lap 1/2 a second below the club lap record and faster than any proddy 250 has ever gone around Cadwell.
Not me riding - had a young gun on board

Poor thing finally cried enough in the last race.

Yes and no - said the forks were crap, he has Ohlins works internals on his Superstocker, and the rear spring was too soft (they are the forks off his KR).
Other than that had fun - absolutely awesome over the mountain. Full throttle didn't back off at all and had to fight the wheelies which were half the length of the straight to Hall bends.

Re: DP Cadwell
How's Dan getting along? glad to see him reunited with a decent bike again and great to see a KR set a lap record around Cadwell again.mj43 wrote:KR did well.

Have you got the parts you need sorted for the KR? I have a new(ish) standard crank you can borrow if you need it and I also have a good crank with KDX200 con rods that need new seals if that's of any use?

I'm planning on going to the last meeting of the season at Cadwell. With any luck I will have escaped Kent by then Will probably only watch as I doubt its worth renewing the race license just for 1 meeting.mj43 wrote: Should have Dan out again on the KR later in the season - possibly Cadwell and Donington. Worth going to watch cadwell just to see him go over the mountain
