I'm not a fast guy by any means but I'm sure I'm far from slow as well. So after loads of research and talking here, chat there, I decided to go for a 600.

After crashing my beloved Fireblade at Snetterton circuit, on the 1st Aug, the poor girl needed some well deserved love and attention. So on Sunday 21st Aug, I spent the day with my good friend Mike, at M9 Performance. I arrived at his house in Park Royal at around 11am, where he has got a workshop at the bottom of the garden. We sat down, had a coffee and discussed what the plan of action would be for the day.
