wrong place for to much of that notax, i want to go faster, so too much sideways is slow, boring yes but trying to improve my driving, so thats how it is, with more power no doubt things could be different :D found it harder to concentrate there because of traffic, having to take racing lines etc at times things got a bit foooked up :oops: :D only human after all :D

:lol: the yellow bit on the wheel - its for steering alignment :wink:
it is very precise on our finely tuned machine, on full droop the rack needs to be balanced to stop the wheels touching the arb arms. When its at the top we know we are centralised when we re-track our front wheels due to say a ride height change.

Oh no. :shock:

I thought it was a secret weapon and I've ordered a giant roll of oneupmanship. :oops:

Guess I'll have to use it to mend the van doors instead, now. :wink:

Did you find it useful, Dave?

I get a bit nervous driving on the nose and kid myself that I'm bored, then go driving sideways everywhere like a Herbert. :oops: Truth be known, I just never feel safe/confident when driving around circuits 'properly'. :?

Have you done any trackdays?

:lol: ok how about this one> the yellow band on the wheel is just to show the camera how many turns a real rack doesnt do....
Honestly, we only gave £40 for the steering wheel 5 years ago from a guy we traded a load of bits with 8)

i did find it useful, although still found myself turning in to early sometimes, :oops: we've done quite a few trackdays, but seemed to get b*lloked off alot for overtaking. :lol: only problem with anglesey is that to go any quicker, thats the way forward, oh and some harder tyres :wink:
