Was just wonderin during the day, while chattin about them, someone may have said, have been told that before, they had one at broady earlier in the year, got talking to the guy riding it, and thats what he said they were makin, and it was a tad quick... so was the guy riding it..........
Was it Ben or Glenn riding it?

Not that it makes much diff, they are both bloody quick. Glenn was doing times about 1 sec off what he did at the FX rounds this year on the new HP4 that is still very early in it develpment stage, like he'd done 6 laps on it before yesterday :shock:
No it was chris, it was early this year, prob feb from memory?? would have been last years bike, i think?? the one with the yellow sticker thingy under the ducktail.
Nice guy, in the bay next to me, was two bikes there, think from memory, someone was riding the other one??? there was half a dozen of them there working on them, dont know what they were doing, as it was only a rideday.... but had a chat to chris, very friendly and quiet happy to talk, at lunch break, was sitting at same table under the tree's, and was quiet open to to giving some tips........... no good for me, as way beyond what i was prepared to do..
The thing was quick, he stuck it up the inside of me at T12 in one session, and man the thing had some mumbo :) :)

Chris Trounson? VIP Pet Foods livery? If so that would have been last years bike, they ended up going back to Honda's probably not long after and rode the FX series on them.
