As a matter of fact, I'll be picking my bike from my mechanic tomorrow actually It's been with him since November after I crashed. I spent all of the December to source spare parts etc and the fairings were just ready last Friday, so tomorrow she'll be whole again

Don't get jealous Ben , the weather over here this season has been crazy... November and early December was up in the 20''s Celcius and since new year it's been damp and raining most of the time...
As for riding... don't even ask.... I did my last race in August, then the above mentioned track day and since that... nada, nothing, nichts Next track day will be early March I guess, along with my first (fingers crossed...) race for the Northern Greece Cup.

I did got forged mag rims yes. And man what a difference !!!I remember that when I received them and went to install them I though to myself that (especially) the front one was a joke or a fake rim or something... Simply put great difference !
As for the times, as I said, I didn't had the chance to test thanks to my low-side, but consider this: I checked my times after my crash (had 2 days at the track and all I could do was stare at my friends riding...) and to my surprise all the "set-up" and "try this and try that" laps were just 1''-1,5'' off my best lap there !!! Magic ! I'm pretty sure I can knock off 2sec's when I try next time, maybe more. We'll see soon :-)
