    All the Bears meetings except sound of Thunder are entry on the day,so long as you have a current competition licence it's not a problem.

    What class do are you intending to ride in?

    Well that was a fun way to spend my afternoon, even though it was freezing cold. Great to meet steve and kickaha and watch them race, also saw dangerous out there.

    Kickaha was going pretty good untill in the third race when his exhust pipe fell off on the 3rd lap, lol, but all was right.

    Will definately come and watch again in a few weeks.

    Poxy Ducati I was meant to be racing fried some electrics on lap two of practice so that was out for the day

    I was doing ok in the first one to,lying second and closing down first until the pipe dug in as I tipped into the dipper and I ended up on my arse,lucky the bike kept running and I still finished third,the wrist got a bit of a hammering though and is now swollen and sore

    Finished the day second on points so it wasn't all bad,although it took me a couple of laps to work out the funny noise my exhaust dragging on the ground in the third race,I think the excursion over the ripple strip may have contributed to that

    Nice to meet Stevek,Dangerous and K14 as well

    Well it turns out the reason my wrist was so swollen and sore was because it was a little bit broken,so I am now in plaster up to the elbow for the next 6 weeks.

    Ufortunately my gloves wont fit over the plaster so I will miss at least one round of the series

    thats no good. it was good to meet you along with k14 and dangerous.

    well my first day out was a mixed bag. had an ignition problem. managed to get 10 laps in though. its the first time ive been around corners on a bike for about 4 years. throughly enjoyed myself. got a bit to work on for the next meeting though

    Really sorry to hear about the broken wrist Kickaha. Speedy recovery. I hope the Ducati's okay......you don't seem to be having much luck lately with Ducatis at the Dipper do you

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    He was on his bucket when he crashed, the duc blew something early in the morning and wouldn't start again.

    But breaking the wrist sucks, atleast its your left one
