Your poor pup Liam!
Good you're thinking purposefully about it.
Yes, a pattern fairing, a good idea.
I watched this video of some guy with patches strapped to his knees.
Looks useful, but maybe a bit grabby on the tarmac! ;D
DAVETHOMAS90:
A few useful tips - and none worth as much as getting out there and doing it :2thumbsup:

"15. Kenny Roberts
GO FAST IN THE FAST PARTS
Three-time 500cc World Champion Kenny Roberts doesn't believe in coasting--you're either on the gas or on the brakes. The most important corner on any racetrack is the one that leads onto the longest (and thus fastest) straightaway, so Roberts would put a priority on getting that section right. Trying to go fast in slower corners is not only pointless, it's risky, because you don't have momentum on your side. If the front tire loses grip in a fast turn, you've got time to save it. If it lets go in a slow one, it's game over."
That reminds me of a tip I read from one of Ron Haslams racing schools - to learn the limit on the front, just grab a handful of front until it loses traction, and then just release the brake.
Let us all know how you get on with that! ;D
