13/12/2004 Bike back from RLR after end of season rebuild and engine blueprint

Got the bike back from RLR today, having been there for six weeks for an engine rebuild and blueprint.  New pistons, rings, inlet valves big end and main bearing shells and plenty of other new parts weren't cheap, but should put it back on top form for the 2005 season and the blueprint will hopefully help to keep it reliable and in one piece.

02/08/2004 Bike back from RLR after engine refresh

Having completed some 14 meetings as well as various track days and test sessions, the engine was getting a little tired and in need of a rebuild.  It probably shouldn't have been left for so long as the work needed was quite substantial, but it's testimony to RLR's work that it held together!   First time out will be Keevil, with the Saturday practice session to settle the engine in and then hopefully back on the pace for Sunday.
