Benelli 2C practice report -Wednesday
Hi folks,

What a day was yesterday and such is racing for you!

Fozzy got checked out at Nobles first thing and luckily had no fractures or torn ligaments so its just bruising and hence he had a painful night.

We then started on the bike and with 9 hours to go before the end of scrutineering and start of our practice session managed to rebuild the bike and get it out again.

It had:-
New front end - forks, oils etc
New wheels and tyres
New swinging arm which was machined by Steve Moynihan for us (famous he is)
Footrest hanger and lots of other bits straightened
New screen
... and a pile of small bits sorted out
We rolled up around 6pm with an hour to spare and its with thanks for Pat, Eddie, Robert, Fozzy and others that we shared the tasks out and got the job done - and correctly to!
Fozzy did two complete timed laps so it with great joy that I can tell you that he put in a first lap 81mph and second of 82.33mph!! Great for a man with a duff shoulder!
So - we are back in the game and now its raining!
