+1 to that. Greg, I'm sure there are quite a few of us that really appreciate the time you take to explain everything.

My now customary video clip

A prime example of how not to take a corner

Approaching the hill, I clipped the left hand side of the repair in the middle of the track just like Nick Cole told us to, pretty much the same as I had been doing for most laps. This time however, I was going just a little bit faster (doesn't take much) and didn't seem to get over the bike properly and by the time I tipped in, I was dragging my toe and rapidly running out of track. The following lap, I slowed down to make sure

But as ever, a huge amount of fun was had

You don't know how good it is to have you helping us all the time.
Its like having our own personal trainer.

Hey Boris, how did you and M go at Desert Storm? I imagine the sad news down there put a bit of a damper on things, but hope you managed a great weekend.

We didn't hear about it until the Sunday.
Was a good trip but Oh the dust. at the beginning you couldn't see 3m in front of you but it did clear a it quicker on Sunday.
I will post up the vid when i get some time.

You know what I would like to see - a rear mounted camera view - so I could see both you and the track at the same time. Would love to see what you are doing on the bike at the same time.

dude you turned in too early.... your apex is just as you turn in, as the corner starts. Must have been a pants cleaner required

One thing about crossing a patch on a track as a marker is the angle that you cross that at.... the corner was done and dictated by the corner before.. you ran a wide line out of Ford and then where you should have modified your line as a result you hit the same spot but at a different angle and effectively TBoned the corner.

At your level when you get the line that wrong..... start looking at the previous couple of corners.

When you are carrying the speed you are now doing getting it wrong is a much more "interesting" affair isn't it

Sounds better than sliding all over the road on bald tyres

Always keen for a ride. I've been checking the dirty bikes on TM - not that I can afford one any time soon - but I certainly enjoyed the sandpit last time.
