yep. fantastic day. track was awesome. weather was fantastic. I didnt hear of a single bin which is good.

But where are the photos? Have only seen one from Mrs Kendog and thats it. Usually the website would be swarming with photos fromthe trackday by now.

You were looking sharp out there, I watched you in one of the afternoon sessions and you were putting good distance between you and other groups of riders that you passed (they would have been on bigger bikes too).

And you passed Sherriffs, did you go an introduce yourself?

I absolutely loved my 2 laps! Fuck it was a hot day, shame I blew up the bike I was riding really..... Luckily the prognosis isnt looking too bad for the engine at the moment though. Fingers crossed!

Im just glad that I had my ciggies with me! The top end of the engine is fine, barrel, power valves and piston are fine but the big end bearing on the conrod is fooked. Kinda lucky in a sucky kinda way.....

They're a bunch of wannabies who think looking cool and cheating might make them famous riders. All I saw was them taking the "front row" on the dummy grid, making sure their hair was nicely done and roaring off down pit lane at race speeds - plonkers.

Craig Shirriffs was on the track about a minute later and had reeled them in within about 8 laps (maybe less). He went past them like they were standing still - I nearly wet myself I was so excited at seeing them humiliated. Oh yeah and they had been there all day Friday practising too ... lol
