I was so glad to get to Ramsey for the climb up the mountain, and
hopefully no more flags !!!! Til the start and finish at least but
no had to pull in at end of one lap, doh.

Never mind will be up for it in the early hours, nice clear run,
perhaps in the wet but there you go, we need some wet practise too.

Had a nice relaxing day today getting things sorted and planning
how to put Saturday night's problems right, which I have to do
straight after practise in the morning !

Good night !

Monday morning update - After the hassles of Saturday, Gail had a trouble-free run this morning, lapping in around 27 minutes - not bad in the conditions. Following last night's heavy rain, the road was very greasy in places especially under the trees, so caution was definitely the order of the day. I went to Ballaspur to watch this morning, and Gail was certainly one of the quickest of the early riders though there. She started with her pal Eleanor Forrest, and had pulled out a lead of a half a minute or so on her by Ballaspur. She was originally intending to do 2 laps but after a minor 'moment' at Governor's Bridge she decided to call it a morning and save herself and the bike until tonight. The forecast for the rest of the day is good, so hopefully it will be dry all round this evening. Gail's bike was running well this morning and certainly sounded very crisp going through Ballaspur.
Quickest through there was probably Tom Clucas, while top newcomer Alex Donaldson was impressively smooth and quick also. As is often the case in MGP practice, the Classic bikes were quicker than many of the solos, and it was especially good to see Nick Jefferies back out on his beloved TT Course.

This is a great report, David. Wish I had taken time to read it before I posted the above!! Over work and over enthusiasm are my usual excuses!

After practise we returned to the garage and started work straight away because although I had
a steady run out, I was not happy with the clutch.
Sure enough after looking at the head, piston etc
we looked at the clutch. We have located a few
problems there to iron out, and have to rebuild
the clutch at some stage over next two days
fixing it !
Mean while we have to take the second bike out
tonight to get the laps in.
Also still trying to resolve our problems with
the rear wheel.
BIG THANKS TO TOM SNOW ON LENDING HIS SPARE WHEEL.

Good job you guys have Mo and Suzi looking after you!

You STILL having trouble with that clutch, girl??
