Finally... some time for a quick update following CRMC Round 3 at Snetterton.
P&M preparations didn't go as planned - fortunately, with bikes in different classes racing together, it was possible to do the same races on different bikes so it became a double Ducati weekend instead.
First out to play was the 500 Pantah and all 4 races followed a similar pattern. Starting in the second wave I had an initial tussle with Gary Bransgrove on his Laverda Monjuic, followed by a few laps on my own before the faster CB500s from the 1st wave started dive bombing me towards the end 😂
Overall a good weekend with one second and three third places in class - and a nice 3rd place slate trophy from Race 1 which was a first for the Pantah in my hands.
Having owned and done nearly 100 track days on it since 2004, the 853 finally got to make its race debut 😀
As with the Pantah all the races followed a similar pattern - an initial few laps with other bikes, then some laps on my own before being well and truly shown the way it should be done by the fast boys!
An excellent weekend going round and round in the sun 😀
