    Not many escape routes, but a few hiding places.

    Lucky he didn't see us a minute earlier on the sprint road.

    That's where you Honda riders go wrong... if you'd been on a Kawasaki on the sprint road, he wouldn't have seen ya

    Well it seems like we've lost our 'priveledges' at the GMole now. The afformentioned barmaid seemed determined to only let us have the pool table for the alloted hour that we'd paid for, and the food was 45mins late! Bit of a change from the free food and pool that we had a month ago. I'm wondering if it's cause we don't park our bikes right outside the pub like they requested, but I guess it's a small price to pay for being able to keep an eye on the bikes over the road.

    Also, Fatjim said last week that evidently the guy that was up the top of the Takas in the cafe offered to keep the cafe open on a Thurs night if we give him warning that we're coming up. That could work one time eh. It's also good to hear that they're obviously going to open up again some time soon!!


    Anyway, see you all Thurs.

    Not quite the sprint pace but........there was a K5 Gixxer and two 999's to keep in check.

    The new barmaid probably doesn't know the rules. Will have to have a word with Sunny - get me to order this week and we'll see what influence I can exert.

    @#$%* bike has been kidnapped by the evil bikeshopus gang, and I dont have the ransom money to resue my sweetheart until tomorrow (if they have in fact fixed it by then. Third time lucky but I wont go there), so will see you all at the pub. Was gonna take my bike gear in to get free pool but I hear that has stopped? Madboy, go chat her up and see what you can do (promise I wont tell your wife!)
