I think Travis went off at exactly the same place so there's a real possibility something was on the line. I was worried about racing F3 right after the sidecars but it would appear the Supers are just as risky!
    Three riders came off at that point so it must indicate something on the track. Shame about a couple of small bolts causing so much oil on Stroudy's Gixxer! That's racing though, and anything mechanical is going to fail somewhere at some point.

    You'll, have to come up with a new breed of rose, maybe a Manfeild Rose, or a Sarah Elliot Rose, or maybe a rose called "The Nosedive"?

    I had fun, sat by myself in the green seats and watched everyone have fun.

    I couldn't believe the rate at which that S1000RR was moving on the wet track, it was amazing. I never heard why he retired though?

    Some tasty street bikes littered around here and there too soon, mine will be one of those bits of litter.

    That was Chopper. Find his race report...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Sorry we didn't catch up. I wasn't wearing anything distinctive I guess. Just my leather dress jacket with the hood and black jeans. Did you see Malcom on his 999? He bought a battery off me on the spot.

    I was introduced to him, but we didn't have time to chat much.

    Hmmm I cant explain it either.... Had a problem with the front end, felt like a flat tyre, loose fork/axle or possibly even the tyre on backwards. RT is trying to get to the bottom of it as we speak. I was having to hold so much pressure on the inside bar to keep the front wheel straight it was only going to end in tears, something was not right...

    The 999 on the gravel behind the stands? Yeah, I had a good look at that. Nice machine!

    I think wrong 999. Malcom was racing, had his van and pop-up shelter last one before the gravel. About my age.

    Ah, yes. I thought he was on the gravel, I'm ever so slightly mad though my memory is getting bad already. What colour is your Kizashi? I was a silver one parked up somewhere.
