Yes, it killed the engine. So I am now selling the bike in parts. Thinking about getting a 1098.

Back from Spa and Brno (yeah I know I´m a post whore). Turned a 2:19 in Brno during qualifying for the endurance race. Quite good for me and heaps of fun, which was the most important thing to me

Swapped Lucas CRQ brake pads for Brembo sinter race pads and will never look at the Lucas stuff again. Ever. Brembo is Brembo is Brembo.
Suspension is getting better. I need to try out a few more things regarding geometry, ride height and do a few clicks here and there. All in all I am happy, although 135 engine horsepower are not that much in Brno. Especially going up the hills, there´s no way on earth to compete with the current 1000s or 750s. It´d be nice to have 160 HP again from my 999R, but then I thought screw it. I´m there for fun so I took a lot of scalps on the brakes and on corner exit

Moved this as an inspiration to you guys. Maybe you´ll like to document some of your own stuff as well.

Thanks Sten, you should go and pose a little. Haven´t seen any pics of you from this or last season.

I'll do my best, Ben. I will try to resuscitate my 998 rebuild thread from long ago. And perhaps add a 999 picture or two later on. But my post whoring days are over, you know

It´s time for a rehab then I guess. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Can´t get enough of your two ladies. You also have a good eye for photography.
