| I like the new paint job. Doesn't have quite the zing of the last one though. Maybe I'm just partial to Kawasaki green. | |

| The weekend of fun is over. The GRiSO performed flawlessly mechanically, but I did have a shutdown, total power loss, middle of the circuit. Battery went flat. Thought I could get 2 x 20 minute sessions out of one charged battery, no ...... no I can’t The new tyres, Dunlop Q4’s are nothing short of amazing. They gave me a huge boost in confidence which I needed. The paint job came from the repairs needed for the fairing. While mixing paint for that it’s not hard to mix a little extra. Help ! I need a small alternator or generator. I’m sick of swapping out batteries after each session. Maybe a push bike lighting dynamo rubbing on the back wheel will do | |

| Google '12V permanent magnet alternator' They can be very small and can supply 15-20A. Not sure if they make them to take 9000 RPM.  | |
