Good Weekend

A successful first round.  The reffing went well, with only one spill on Saturday, and no crashes on Sunday.  First time I can remember the ambulance sitting idling all weekend, with no red flags.  Awesome.  Also got out on the bike, courtesy of Rod at TPL racing  http://tplracing.blogspot.com/ -- on Sunday am, he flagged the first trackday session so I could get out on the mono -- put in another 7-8 laps.  Bike ran well, if not a little cool, and I think it was jetted too rich in the main -- wouldn't seem to pull to redline or the rev limiter.  Had a 150 in, will go down to a 147.5 for the next try.  Bike handles pretty good -- still need some seat time, but got my knee down!  Pretty good considering the few laps I put in.  No, I haven't carved off a few inches yet, but its a good sign.  Gonna raise the forks up in the triples 5mm to get some more weight over the front.  Not used to the "mass centralization" -- feels like the front isn't planted.  The frame was origninally designed to work with tz250 forks, so perhaps these street forks, with more travel, are a bit too tall.

This is my final kick at the cat re tachometers.  This is a SunTach -- claims to work with any ignition system, any combo of cylinders, any machine -- even a deisel.  It appears to work as promised, with a shift light that can be set just under the 10000 rpm mark.  Nice, small, simple to hook up.  Had to add a hadlebar switch so it wouldn't constantly draw the battery voltage.  Trying to make it idiot-proof; hence the reminder.
Oil changed from the Motul petro-based break in oil to Torco semi-synthetic.  Might re-install the thermostat, as the bike peaked at 162 F after several laps on a hot day...
