It was the XE's first outing and it performed excellently!

I bought some slicks from Adam Moran (cheers mate, I will have to pay you soon! lol) and slapped them on for good measure!

Cornering was awesome, especially with the ATB (I was wary as I had heard reports that it 'snatches'- load of rubbish!) I managed to get it sideways a few times and it was totally efoortless to get it back under!

I didnt go crazy and was operating at approx 80%, as I just wanted to make sure all was well (new suspension and untracked also didnt help) I did realise that I was losing power towards the last session, but it only did if after a long right hander.... hmmm fuel starvation I reckon (and hope) it was fine on the way home though :)

Got a few pics (biased!)

Was great to meet Ernie and Chris and good to catch up with Dar and chew the fat. SHame about the flange (snigger) but it happened at the right time!
