When you learn to master the principle of setting a goal, you will then be able to make a great difference in the results you attain in this life.

It was the first time we've had chance to spend a lot of time on the chassis and engine and I went quite a lot faster on it than I did last time here so that's positive.

It would have been nice to test the two bikes back to back but I'm sure we'll get a chance tomorrow.
