Tired of hearing people moaning about road based Supermonos being uncompetitive Mike Edwards is going to try and take a £454 motorcycle bought from Ebay and with a limited budget contest the British Supermono Championship. The bike's named 'Gordon'; been totally stripped down, rebuilt, and is now racing, so the concept is well on it's way to completion.

Gordon gets ready for Donington.
It's difficult as Gordon lives in a garage near houses, so if I want to fire him up, I have to take him to a remote pub in the Yorkshire Dales. The customers don't mind as most of them are bikers anyway.
I am a bit disheartened to find out that at Donington we only have 2 x 8 minute sessions on track before the race, so that's not many laps to try stuff out - wow.
I have not had chance to test the new fork set up and with the limited time we have to test (on the day) I will have to do a bit of guess work and just get on with it!
