I like my new number plate too LOL. Yea, I am pretty happy about getting the van properly sideways for the first time on dry tarseal...

I'll post a pic of the speedo needle of the van just before it dissapeared as well... Pitty there was no pic of me doing a "stand up reverse wave". I invented that stunt so who ever does it better use that term!

Na, it's me. As Gixxer boy said, I am still half asleep so I didn't quite click just then.

I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight either so sleep can have it's appointment with me on Tuesday night.

Congrats on the 1K dude!

Back at work today after a day spent crook in bed puking yesterday.

Thanks to everyone who helped make it one of the best days I've ever spent on the track. Fantastic to see so many old friends and meet a few new ones.

I managed to consistantly improve throughout the day and by my last session, was glued to the rear wheel of Glenn Williams on his well sorted ZX10R race bike.

A massive thanks to Glenn if anyone knows him personally, as his advise was massively helpfull. He'll regret it next ime we meet.

Mini_hooks, keep asking the questions you are and listening to the answers and you'll go far in motorcycling.

Thanks for the pic of me too, Gunner.

Good work on being on Glens rear mate, He aitn no slouch so you did well espec considering he was on a race bike kitted out and stuff.

You looked sharp mate, I was watching my video of you last night and it looks all impressive.
Im not sure if you noticed but at one stage MR was chasing you hard and credit to him he wasnt to far behind, lost you on the straights but seemed to hang at a standard gap of about 100 metres.
Saw some amazing riding on the weekend and also had a bloody Blast myself.
We are already talking about the April meet, Man I cannot wait, might need some Corsas though the standard Diablo was at its limits ( I think)
The front slid once coming onto the back straight and the rear was a bit slippery putting the power down, might have been the dust though.

For me my Big moment was getting my Knee down for the first time, to be honest at the start of the day I was trying to get my knee on the deck but didnt succeed, some good advice from ole loosebruce helped ie Relax, I did as the day wore on and became alot more confident with the track and the last run of the day I pput it on the deck and I wasnt even trying to, it just happened which made it that much better for me, two laps latter it went down again.

Im still fizzing about Saturday. good weather, good people ,great track ,great bike (shut up non believers) yup damn good day

April da 5th has been canceled to my knowledge.

There will be some test days coming up on Saturdays which could be worth a look.

A plea to those with footage: Could you PM me if you have any video footage of me (fuck that sounds wanky!) as I want to analize the day a little.

I fucking bet you do buddy, as if those leathers aren't enough!

I've got a couple of vids of you through a few of the corners though, so I'll show them to you some time.
