2 years difference

Croft '06 vs croft '08
Different corners which explains the backwards writing but thats the photog's fault
Similar corners so should be similar speeds so i think its a fair comparison.
1.55 first year, 1.42 next year and managed 1.38 this month,not race pace but not bad for an old twat. Got blitzed on the straights by the jap 1000's but as i was the
only V-twin in the fast group (999 and 1098 in inters booooo) I had to give a good showing. Only went off-track once aswell
I'd like to thank my sponsors ebay, who supplied all 2nd-hand the oz rims, slicks , the 04 seat unit, the (too tight) leathers, the back protector, the helmet, the gloves, exhausts (now 4?yrs old), digital rev counter, clutch thingy, brake lever.

Pierre, you old git. I was beginning to think something nasty had happened to you on your trip to Spain? was it?
Big improvement in body position and lap times
UDA man, nothing to do with the Irish BTW

Nice! I see you are still using those black levers? Haven't broken yet then?

It's obvious isn't it?
Pic 1 - front brake on
Pic 2 - front brake not on
That'd make quite a difference
But seriously..... Pic 2 - nice bike there Pierre and looking good on it too.
Wish it was me

Nice one Pierre, can you please teach me how to ride around Croft in the same style as Pic2?
Even after a few years of occasional TD's I'm afraid I still ride more like Pic1
Here is about the best I've EVER looked:
Cheers - Frank
