    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Untill someone else puts there hand up, and seeing as you are so keen to claim responsibility, it was now you by default.

    NOW APOLOGISE TO THE MAN!!!!!

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    SHUSH you!

    If he says it was me (and means it) then I'll apologise to him...

    For the meantime... I'm sorry to whoever it was that I 'took out' but from my point of view it was a clean pass, i was carrying a lot more speed than them when i went around the outside of them and wasn't expecting them to be there when i turned in to the corner.

    Turns out I got served up some karma in the 2hr endurance race.

    R6 and others. I have no idea who it was. The last thing I remember, prior to taking impromptu flying lessons, was seeing my front wheel being attacked by another bike. The next thing I remember is staring at the grass. The bit in between is missing.

    However, if it was you, R6, who took my crashginity after 60 years of crash-Vir-Ginity, you definitely owe me a chocolate fish. :--))

    Hope that wasnt me that served you during the race (being as I had no gear selection third down to second gear so was playing at being a sliding mobile chicane into several corners)

    kinda funny tho if it was one mentor serves another!!

    wait till my boy gives me a bike with gears AND a real tyre! cheers Nod

    Nah wasn't you mate, I can't rememeber the guys name, but he was on another FXR, but not your number 35. Had a good laugh though, unfortunately the bike wasnt rideable afterwards otherwise i would've been back out at it!

    Well gotta admit I've done that to someone in practice, he did move into my line as I was passing but I don't think he realised that. Did apologise later tho'he wasn't that receptive-don't blame him. At least 75% my fault as I shouldn't have been tryin so hard. At least I didn't scare him off as he's now one of the fast guys(was a novice to buckets at the time). An apology of some form woulda been nice from that guy to you but things get VERY ruthless in buckets not just moto GP. Ask Sete.
