28/02/2005 Pembrey Test Weekend 26 & 27th February 2005 

The two days went off without any dramas, although it was very cold with even a flurry of snow on the Sunday!  The bike felt very good and having run it in steady for the two days it seems to have bedded down well and was pulling strong in the latter sessions on Sunday when I was able to flat it out.  Just a quick paint job to do on some new plastics for the 2005 season (keeping the same colour scheme though!) and it'll be ready to go for the first meeting.
