      I still intend to leave with the big cheque though.
      Hmmm. I may need to find a big bike ya reckon?

      Wasn't a big margin between that lowly 600 and the road bike I was on bro. Whatever happens we're gonna smash that record this year!

      I've gotta wait two more weeks to make sure I can see good enough to do it. All looks good so far.

      I'll start smack talk once I'm confirmed but I'll only take part in such behaviour with better riders than Pie-Boy Lawrence and "I look like Chris Cornell" Mair.

      I have no doubt he probably will with my lack of riding for 18 months. However, if he does, it certainly wont because I'm blind. Only entering if the optometrist gives me the all clear. It's going to be a nice change riding and seeing at the same time.

      Despite my uncanny resemblance to Sean Connery I am a very modest fellow and never engage in "smack talk" .
      However since this is the 10th anniversary of the "Cliffhanger" I predict I will again be in the top ten and maintain my record of the "Cliffhanger" being the only "track" (it's not a circuit) I have never crashed at (I hope to add Paeroa to the list of tracks I haven't crashed at latter this month )
      And thats not all !!!
      If Clive is quicker than me I'll buy his beer at the next Vic Club meeting !!!

      If I had a different bike then I would do it. Not keen on destroying another RG up there again, despite the fact I now own two...

      Malcolm has been convinced to take his 400 up there again, so would be good to get a few 'mid sizec' bikes up there again. It may be a chance to take the 400 cup out of the cupboard again!

      No, I'd only blow it up. Let me pay for the last guy's bike I killed before lending me another.

      Well. If Jay brings his F3 and Supersport bikes, I have to say that he will have his work cut out for him in either one of those classes.

      You only get so many runs up the hill - simple maths tells me that two classes means half the number of runs per class........

      I have done it in F1 and F3 the last two years and was lucky enough to have little competition in F1, so I could focus my energy on F3, where I had to work for the win.

      Jay will have to decide which class to focus his energy on - but I am not letting my F3 title go without a fight. (I'm picking Jay will focus on the big prize myself.)

      Similarly, I might have the same dilemma this year, if someone gives me the hurry along in F1.....anyone ?

      Though being my 'race' bike - F3 is my priority.

      So there. Not much of a smack talk but hey.....the thread needed another bump !!

      Looks like it's team "DD" to shut out Jay completely then.
