    Ok the way i work is..... The best way to check things over is to take them apart and clean them have a look and put them back together again. Today i removed the rear wheel and cleaned and inspected the HRC kit swing arm linkage and wheel bearings.

    The swing arm is a very simple bit of kit. The chain adjusters are spaced out with a sleve that go's trough the chain adjuster,arm and calliper bracket so when you remove the wheel everything stays in place.

    Been out playing with it. Not on it :-(
    I've been doing track days for years now and never tried the racing. Wo this year I plan on doing more track days and if I get the time ill have a go at some club racing. Road racing is something I oils love to do but with a wife and 3 kids its a no no.

    yes, as you said, in can be ultimate, but it is part of the game. No one is forced to be on the grid, and entry lists are every year longer. Poeple love road racing because it is pure. Deaths are the worst what can happen, but doing road racing is consious choice. I'm not saying I'm OK with this risk, but i think dedication for the sport is something special in road racing.
