[QUOTE="Nulli Secundus, post: 81924, member: 560"] Thanks Tim. I will now look into buying a hydraulic steering damper and then try to work out how to fit it. I too hope to do the September Cadwell Park meeting if the bike is still up for it. Unfortunately I have got to miss the July Cadwell. I think I have already tried Merv's patience a bit with all the questions I was asking him. Unfortunately, in Race 18 we had a red flag, due to a fallen Super Mono (YES a Super Mono !!!). We then had a restart and unfortunately Merv crashed into the back of a stationary Japanese bike with a Novice rider that failed to leave the grid. The race was abandoned and Merv broke his hip, pelvis and collar bone, plus no doubt other injuries. The Novice was walking wounded. The 250cc Rudge is probably in a worse state. It could only be carried and as an example of the impact a short section of the left hand exhaust pipe was sheared and separated from the head and the remainder of the pipe. I did not see the other bike. This race was eventually rerun and was my last race for the day. I hope to meet up with you and Ben then at Cadwell in September. [/QUOTE]
