    Back from Cadwell yesterday testing the bike with the flatslides
    on it. Seemed to be quicker, but hard to tell as I hadn't ridden
    it since Snetterton in June.

    It certainly wasn't as good when I first went out - it would
    only just pull the bike along, so I had to come back into the
    pits. Turned out that one of the leads had come off an
    ignition box, so it was only running on one cylinder...

    Got quicker over the afternoon, following the faster riders
    around and watching their lines - flat out into Coppice is
    rather interesting! - and managed to dip into the 1.54s
    which isn't too shabby.

    A certain Mr Neeves from a certain weekly publication was
    also there testing on the Ducati UK guest bike, a MultiPasta
    620 no less, as he'll be making an appearance at Donington
    on it. Jesus H he was quick!

    Anyway, some preview pics on the PicMan site here:

    (see, I can do verbose...)

    Ta. It's one of the things I have been concentrating on, because
    it does help with cornerning quicker and keeping the bike more
    upright to get the (limited) power on quicker. Or something.
