I gotta 10.!!.. again

After a wasted racing and track year with bike problems (thanks for the trophy Rob.. :-)) I thought I needed something a little, well, newer.....
So I got a 10... Had it for a few weeks now and have been checking, fixing, replacing bits on it in that time and got it ready just in time for Saturdays track day.. I had only ridden it up the street once prior to the day so I didn't know how it would go..
It went OK, I just need to get use to it as I was riding it like I ride the 750, and that doesn't work to welll on the 10.
Had a bit trouble with the rear brakes after some crap leaked on em (foam fill in the swingarm, go figure) so I had to pull that apart (it wouldn't be a day at the track for me if I wasn't pulling a bike apart) but other than that we had a pretty good day.
The zxr750r finally ran trouble free again too (of course that would happen when I buy something else) so that may be up for sale if the misses has her way.... After all the things we changed it appears the CDI had a plug in the wrong spot, was missing a couple of rectifiers and it had some dodgy fuel in it at the last day...

anyway, heres some pics.
