So the 916 is track ready but I've run into a few problems & decided to not take part in tomorrow's trackday at Donington. I'll rebook at a later date. Instead I've booked a week off work & heading off to Cornwall for some rest & relaxation πŸ˜ŽπŸ™

I need to have a little test ride on the 916 before my trackday next week & have no MOT. Should I put a daytime mot on it? πŸ€”
Fitting race fairings are the devil's work! It's on but was a pig of a job!!
I was going to fit the Termignoni's but gonna leave the arrow exhaust on πŸ‘

Big shout out to the guys at Bike Torque Racing for getting the beautiful 520 chain & sprocket kit out to me so quickly! I also bought a gold flange to bling it up a bit! πŸ˜‰πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Evening all πŸ‘‹
I won't lie these last few weeks have been very tough since the passing of my brother. The Ducati trackday prep has pretty much come to a halt due to family & work commitments but I'm still hoping I can be track ready at the end of the month! πŸ™

Happy Saturday peeps!
Project Carbon is also still in progress..
Here's me applying another coat of resin before giving it a complete sand down. A bit more work to do but I'll get there! πŸ˜ŽπŸ™Œ

Happy Fridaying peeps!
Project trackday continues!
I fitted a race fairing bracket, which allowed me to store all those pricey parts. The bracket moved the clocks to the left a bit which caused the forks to hit the speedo, so I removed the speedo too which was super easy! 😎

Morning all πŸ‘‹
So it's time to get the 916 ready for the Ducati trackday at the end of this month! I think I might have gone a bit overkill with my preparation but the original panels are to nice to risk damaging! πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘Œ

Morning all, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your condolences re the passing of my brother. It came as a huge shock. Luckily I had pre booked a holiday for this week so we've taken some time for ourselves. Normal service will resume shortly.
Much love, Griz β€οΈπŸ™πŸ˜Ž

I'm absolutely gutted! My brother Andrew (the one in the middle) passed away this evening. If I'm quiet for a bit you'll know why πŸ™

This is my favorite product 'Pro Prep' by FUCHS Silkolene so quick & easy to use & gives a superb finish!
I thought I'd give the 916 one last clean before I start to take it apart & prep it for the track day next month with Ducati UK at Donington πŸ˜ŽπŸ™Œ
