Yay. Was wondering when you were coming back up. Tell Steve he has to behave and stay on the bike this time.
How did the wedding go?
Henk and i won't be there Saturday as there's the one off-road race I enjoy on, but all going well, will both be there Sunday (a flag may be calling my name, instead of my FXR).

Yep Granma cant wait! I'm gona ride two bikes on Sunday. F5 and B grade. Steve has other
prior arrangements with his family, so its gona be full on for me.
I have all my gear packed already and both bikes are on the trailer.
I dont give a hoot either if its raining, I'm still riding.
The wedding was really great.
I asked my son-in-law why he was wearing black shirt and pants.
He replied 'what else do you wear to a funeral'. LOL.

Oh dear he has a warped sense of humor bless him.

I thought it was your job to book the weather, maybe that's the problem, we're all forgetting to or thinking someone else is doing it.

Shelracing: I looked desperately for a black wedding dress as I wanted to be traditional, but couldn't find anything. Pre-Queen Vic days black was weddings, white funerals.

So did anyone go down to the track today? How much of a swimming pool was it?

Nah went to woodhill so Michelle could race instead. In any case I don't need to practice falling off in the wet, have it wired.

Yea I am very well practised at that skill as well so didnt see the pint of getting in any more practise

I felt I needed to practice being lapped somewhere other than on a kart track. I managed to avoid practicing crashing (but did make one honest attempt - thankfully I failed, as that tree did not look that soft either). I was nice to Henk though, and gave him a couple of jobs this year :)

Well it was a funs day racing, even if the bike was running like shit and Henk sabotaged me by offering parts that were worse than the one I already had (he swears that he his a good guy, but I will be more catious in the future:laugh:)

Started off the back of the grod for both races.

In race 1 Dave Mannual was having a shocker and after I nearly collected him on the grid after he tried to start in thrid gear ans was a satationary object, he got rooling and procced to get past me and then throw it away in the infield. Thus me pulling one of the largest stoppies I have ever done (I really didnt think it was comming down right way up) in order to avoid his bike and him. However in my excitement I stalled the dam bike. By the time all this had happaned the leaders were conning up on me quick and I ended up slotting in towards the pointy end of the field (I was just a lap down) and had a bloody good race.

Race two I went off the back of the grid again got not to bad a start. We then had a red flag as young Daniel decided he woild take a trip over the bars. After the restart the bike was running like shit again and was down on power but again had a bloody good race between a couple of others.

Roll on next month

I wouldn't do something like that while your bike was parked in my shed for a couple of days :innocent: Do you want to buy your original carb back by the way?

Was a bloody good days racing although I suspect I came out of the day with nil points. Roll on next month.
