Getting Ready For The Test

The K8 Cresent Suzuki

I was really excited as I walked into the workshop to find two brand new K8 Cresent Suzuki's

Hello everybody. Only 4 days to go before my first test on my Cresent Suzuki’s and whilst I can’t wait to get my hands on them, I just have to stay calm.

I’ve been down to Cresent Suzuki today and what a day that was! We set off from Dezzy’s house (he’s the team boss) on a very snowy morning and it seemed as if we experienced every weather possible on the way down! We arrived at around 10 o’clock and I was really excited as I walked into the workshop to find two brand new K8 Cresent Suzuki’s (AKA my new babies)!

They still need some work on them before the first test, but they’ve had some bits on the like the full titanium exhaust, power commander and they’ve been dyno-ed already. They are also producing very good horsepower for a standard bike although I should have all the good bits on the bikes before the test run at Oulton Park. I’ve got every faith that our mechanic Gary can get the bikes ready in time.

I’ll speak to you all after my first test and hope the weather is good (well it can’t be any worse than the official BSB test at Snetterton which was snowed off)!
