Sorted!

I have the belly plates now, so more confident, however I do think the B fronty is inferior to the A fronty.
Not only is it lower, but it doesn’t feel as robust!

I must say though that every time I look at her I can’t help but wonder if at some time she has been lowered.

In the morning give the torsion bars a 1/2 inch tweek :wink:
That will take in any stretch/sag its suffered since new and you should even feel a tighter ride on road :D
Dont go any higher than that with stndard shocks though, even with longer shocks I wont go over an inch and a half.

Dont worry Pete has done most of the lanes in his V6 (you might get the odd twig attacing your paint work though :evil: :lol: ) he enjoyed it and cleared it all.

It's been a frantic last couple of weeks, with the who's going list being chopped and changed. A last minute swap brings the roll call looking like this:

* alex - Confirmed
* bikerbarney - Confirmed
* nitromotor - Confirmed
* gypsyroadhog - Confirmed
* Steve-C - Confirmed
* Manny - Confirmed

Beginners run 2: Saturday July 28th

* NiftyWolfie - Provisional
* Shaun69 - Confirmed
* FUDDY MUCKER - Confirmed

Reserve list:

* Goldfinder

NiftyWolfie & alex have swapped giving the axel swap issues another couple of weeks to get sorted. (To Be Confirmed)

Hmm, I've just noticed: alex axle :!:

Anyway, here's to a good first beginners green lane trip :drink:

I hope you found the booklet informative, and what ever the weather tomorrow, I'm sure we'll bring back some tales to share online Sunday evening.
