    Yeah I had to work today, go to my nephews birthday afterwards and around 3:30 head off to Manfield hoping to catch the last races. Definately feels good to be on the bike when you don't get to take it out often.

    had to commute on halcombe hill again to get to Marton. Real pleased about that commute!

    Finished just after 3 so pootled down to Manfield to see who was done there. looked like a bit of a crashfest. Only got to watch one race which was F2 which was mint. Some real close racing this round.

    Got to see Robertydogs R1 too. He even let me touch it!!!

    Back to work tomorrow......... Whats the bet the next day off it will rain!

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    Put me hand up for one of them !!
    Be interesting to hear the stats for today, wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one bin in every race today !!! Only saw the ambo go out once though which has to be a bonus !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    hmm Ambo out twice once at hairpin and again at splash after a quite specatular high side, definitely one of the busiest crash days .. splash certainly took its fair share of victims, I think we worked out was about 5 races all day with no pick ups.

    but thanks to the plonker who ignored all the marshall points trying to get him off the track dropping oil everywhere certainly made things run rather late
    Have to Karma ... Justice catches up eventually !!

    Speaking of nephews, I had a few ale's with one of mine tonight. I guess you haven't got to that stage yet.

    Great to finally see your VTR Elysium! Very cool!

    Nothing wrong with that. I rode just under 200k this afternoon. I just didn't want to stop, back roads are just the best! I only had one smoke break too

    To true,we did stop at wind farm lookout,then cafe.And I didn't stall my bike either,although if I wasn't behind it wouldn't have happened lol.Great quick (1&1/2 hours went fast)ride.And no officers seen,although chasing a Daytona saw speedo get up near instant loss of license.
