My friend Mikkel called and insisted that I joined him for
an evening practice session at Sviestad race track near Linköping. The local
club, LMS, has really well organized and friendly practice sessions for riders with
a valid license.
Great weather, sunny, 22 degrees and not much wind. The
only issue was that Mikkel had his season opener at Brno, so his speed was
there. Just for me to ignore my normal lack of speed after a long winter and
just follow his tail around the track. Worked great, produced best lap times at Sviestad
since my active race days in BoTT racing some years back.
The new IMA triple clamps from NF Racing with 30 mm off set (std 36 mm) worked
fantastic, corner exists was trouble free, no need for the classic Ducati need
for pick up to minimize the running wide out of corners issues so common for us
Ducati riders. I was surprised how much easier it was to flip-flop the bike thru
the esses after start/finish line. The triple clamps are not low cost, but a
very good investment if you can afford it.
Thanks Mikkel for a great afternoon and awsome season opener!
