    You can use the sheep predict the weather at Knockhill. If the sheep are at the top of the hill, it's not going to rain. If they are at the bottom, it's going to rain. And if you can't see the sheep, it's already raining.

    It can be a ball ache, but tiny changes can have a real effect on balance, feel and thus confidence

    Sorry for your tough weekend up here in bonny Scotland. I know what went wrong for you... low quality sweet treats. I couldn't make it to the track with the lovely homebaking I had for you, so that ones on me. I'll freeze them for next year - unless I eat them first. Looking forward to seeing that pace potential come out in a race soon.

    Hi Dave. We spoke in the paddock on sunday. (I'm the Porsche Diag Tech & ex Thundersport rider) Good chat. And as i said, great videos and info. Interesting with the disks bevelling! Messing about in trackdays now and finding i also suffer issue with the rear lifting under braking at this track. So cant get the bike in. And been working on the front to dial it out. But your info on focusing more on the rear helps. Something to look into. Run it deeper. Then pull back chassis geo with ride height. Makes sense.

    Great video. Not the best of conditions for racing, the inbetween wet/dry on slicks, rather him than me. Did you find out why the engine went bang a couple of races back? Was there a hint? Looking at how long the bike ran with no pressure when on its side. Did someone overlook that before? The rear brake issue, I can only see that it's an alignment problem. Spacer/caliper mount/wheel. You've changed everything else. Thats see what the next race brings. 👍Well done to all.
