Mark Miller from Splitlathe Racing has qualified #43 so far as Mondays practice laps on the RX1190
I really must look out for that bike and follow its progress thanks John! :up:
his number is #32 if I remember correctly
Boy Mark just squeezed in. Hoping team Splitlath has a good showing, they do VERY well in the Pan Delta series. YouTube also has footage from this week it's under IOM official youtube.com

TT2016 update 04:
Got to take out the Superbike which had a strange but distinct vibration in the engine the day before. Turned out the gent who assembled this engine failed to torque down what I call the stator but the team calls the engine's rotor, the magnet I think which spins around the coil bolted to the end of the crankshaft. It was free spinning or even resting at the inside bottom of the engine cover.
Tony Pogue my main man found it, sorted it, and yesterday both the new clutch and the engine vibration disappeared. Happy days!
Suspension tweaks to continue but we've got two strong EBRs to race now in Superbike and Superstock, huge torque, big power, awesome handling when it's smooth just got to get them over the biggest TT bumps now. Not an easy task but we're confident we'll get there. Our first race is the six (6) lap Superbike race on Saturday.
Two practice laps on the big bike and onward to the new Supersport R6. Such a different animal the in-line 600cc Japanese bike to the 1200cc Rotax Twin. Couldn't be more different, really. One is low RPM but ludicrous acceleration with wheelies and black stripes of rubber, the other seemingly unlimited RPMs with a tiny power band so you're revving the piss out of her shifting constantly.
Will take a few more laps to fully understand how to profit from each scheme; what gear to be in where, braking points, turn in points, when you can hold her flat out threading through curbs and when you must lift. I look forward to the 2nd Supersport race and Senior TT later in the fortnight after all parameters get realized and we can push with true knowledge. Right now I'm just guessing and trying different things (on the 600 and 650 Lightweight), without doing anything stupid or in too large of increments that might bite us, like I did in 2009 destroying my motorcycle into four large pieces. Steady away.
There was an electrical glitch on the 600 last night which allowed me the opportunity to hang out with the fun and crazy ladies and gents at Windy Corner, thanks again guys for the laughs, hot tea, ****, and a lift back to the paddock in the main man's personal car. I even got an exclusive 2016 annual "Windy Corner" sticker to go with my 2015 Windy Corner sticker. Ha ha. Only for the privileged... (-:
Out tonight on possibly all four bikes, weather remains dry and sunny but with some serious gusts of wind in upwards of 30mph. Don't like heavy winds around here, if I'm honest. The irish boys don't seem to mind it one little bit, wish I wasn't such a pussy sometimes.
Sincere thanks to the hard-working Splitlath team, big hugs to you,
Mark

That lap could have been even faster if a couple bikes got out of his way sooner
