megawatt Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Well, got back from Snett at 2100 yesterday. WOW, what a fantastic 2 days. 24degrees on Wednesday and 26 yesterday. Had the coolbox plugged in our garage, great food , beer and company. Managed to overtake a few people in novices class and nearly got rid of the chicken strips on my new Michelin Pilot Tour rear and nearly destroyed the pilot power on the front. Had a moment in the 3rd session when some tvat overtook me at Corum with only a 2ft gap and then whilst nailing it on the pit straight, something glanced off my right knee. I looked down at 120mph and the crash bung had disappeared!!! This unsettled me for the rest of that session and when I pulled in it was worse! The right hand top rear engine bolt had sheared off!!! We did find the R&G and the bolt, but I will be spending some time removing the broken stud from the engine! Here's a few pix;http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/Snetterton%202011/NOV_7109.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/Snetterton%202011/NOV_4817.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/Snetterton%202011/NOV_4743.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/Snetterton%202011/NOV_2870.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/Snetterton%202011/NOV_4080.jpgThe last one has Nutty Tart on her CBR1000RR08 Blade looking over my shoulder!!!
