It would run for a while then starve the bike of fuel.

We had a few red flags.
The first left hander had those scrape marks that send a chill every time you ride past them.

Track day done.
A bit cold to start, then a bit of rain, then it dried out.
The sun put in a few fleeting appearances.
I wobbled around.
