Scotsman fails to kiss me first: VMCC Rnd 5

Great stuff bro, was wicked watching on Saturday, especially when both battles I was watching were on the same bit of track, as Glen and Sam came past you guys towards the end.

Did Stevie tell ya there were a couple changes made to his bike for him, that made it ride more to his liking, or just take the credit for going faster all himself?

Cheers man. Yeah, Steevie gave you due credit bro. He was so smooth in that last race with the decent tyre and revised geometry.

Great racing.I dont know how you juggle two bikes.I tried a fzr750 and 1000 on the same day and just couldnt get it right for the first few laps.

Cheers Mossy, but I think you meant that for the flying Scotsman Scracha. I agree with you that it's a pretty big achievement, especially back to back. It shouldn't be a suprise though, he's a freak in so many other ways why not this too?

I was more scared of the bloody bucket than the 600. Honest. I used to surf and noticed how many guys would get hurt in small waves because they would get into "hot-dog" mode, but on the big waves showed much more respect so had fewer injuries. I can see similar potential in buckets. It was a very good time though and it would be worth giving it a lunge if I had a positive cash flow.

Im picking up my vt250 tomorrow night .Going to dump one top end and plate over it.vt125 only not v.You can ride mine.Mental note need less expensive helmet and old leathers.Have seen these guys fall and still win races.Rumour is they wear old man nappies like we wear back brace to protect their butts.Hope you were wearing them.Must ride safe.

Thanks for our wee chat in my garage - It made me think more about technique rather than just going hard out.

Hmm, yes. Clive, I seem to recall our little chat at pit wall when you made me think more about what I was actually trying to achieve other than just 'go faster'. You must be getting wise in your young age eh!

Should've heard what Stevie said he'd done to Clives bike...

So you should have been!!

Awesome work out there mate, I enjoyed watching some of your battles! You were looking nice and smooth and alot more relaxed this weekend!

Cheers chickie. I've got to get better at taking my own medicine. It's hard case, cos I didn't feel very smooth but I am definitely improving. Getting better at racing is definitely an ongoing project for me that will need time to ripen. I have to remember to give attention to the stuff that goes right and keep having fun.

Thanks as well. Definitely get out there as soon as possible mate. Every racer I have spoken to has said they wished they started earlier. It is huge fun, and very social as an extra bonus.

It was a great weekend eh ? Good comapany and great racing. I am having a great deal of difficulty catching you once you get in front.

And an entertaining read as usual

It was a very good weekend. The usual friendly buzz around the pits, lots of spectators and bloody great weather. I also know the pain of not being able to quite catch someone who gets past mate. Who we gonna get some coaching off?

I'm pretty sure the first thing any "coach" would tell me is to loose 10kg and get fit enough to run 10 laps of Manfeild without assistance from St John's.
After every race weekend I decide I am going to do that.
Not sure how, I might just go and have a cup of tea and biscuit while I think about it.

Brian Bernard is doing a bit in December at Manfeild, or we could track down one of the Merkel days at Taupo.
