Where have i been?!

Well! Its just gone Mental at work!
Seriously i did 3 times more work on my own in March than we did in Feb. Business is great and i'm really enjoying it.
Its quite a challenge to balance how much attention to put where with regards to time spent on race prep and organisation or fixing customers bikes.
Its always a case of pushing my luck but making sure the customers are  always happy.
The Superbike is now built and running with the old engine fitted and tonight i have ridden it up and down the estate for the first time and all seems well. The clutch is dragging so i'll be having a look at that tomorrow. Its been 9 o clock finish on race nights,  most mondays and tuesdays recently and as soon as 5 comes race bikes are on the benches. Tommo comes down to help and learn the bikes and Allister has been coming to to muck in.
Paintwork is now organised to be done as soon as i have completed 2 club races in successive weekends starting on the 26th of April at Oulton Park. Followed by bank holiday weekend with Derby Phoenix at Cadwell Park.
My Sponsors have really been helping me out recently and one of them has helped me out on the cash flow situation enabling me to buy the  brand new ZX10 courtesy of Bikers Kawasaki. Thankd Guys!
Well theres lots of other littles bits that are still coming together but i think my main panick is over. 
I really still need a last 10k to be comfortable that i'm going to cover the tyre budget etc for the TT but i'll keep cracking on and one way or another it'll come. Heres a few pictures of what we have been up to.
