I did think that Jay's way of warming up ought to get an Honourable Mention.

That's the second time he's used that technique and now the secret is out, he can't get a competitive advantage out of it any more, he's done it in front of a crowd on both occasions

A 5km/h drop in the foot deep gravel earned me that label from a spectator on Friday.

At least it was a good lesson to keep the gas on in the gravel. Used that to save my arse at 140km/h on race day.

Ummm ... that wouldn't be the paddock stand made by a young wanna-be racer/engineer would it? :innocent:

you forgot to mention...Mr Poo's forgetting to tighten clipon properly and finding out during braking and full steam during my first flying lap at well over 230kmph...with right handle bar promptly moving way forward!!

Another couple for you.

Looking at the fuel gauge when I should've been braking from over 200 for the sweeper, running off and into the tyres side on... minimal damage
Then in the following supersport race first corner, powering up at the same time as everyone else, losing the tail, thinking I'd saved it, and next thing I knew I was flying through the air backwards, followed closely by not having a clue what month it was. Definitely my least successful race meeting to date.

When was the other time???
I think the way some other people decided to 'warm up' there the next lap, and the next lap, and a few laps after that, that it was fairly obvious something wasn't going on like it should at Splash at that point...

Exhausts falling off seemed to be a populare one.
ArcherWC the day before and on the race day with crazylittleshit riding the mutt on the hairpin in qualifying.

Vibrations just about destroyed the mutt in my profile!
