I seem to recall that in the French, Russian and Cambodian revolutions educated people were right at the top of the list of undesirables along with the rich, you can't spew out political/religious nonsense to educated people and expect them to believe it, keeping the ...

... engine. Bloody hell the thing only weighs 500KG so it blows around the track. Me and my dad didn't like the gears, you couldn't tell what gear you were in and if you were in gear there was a lot of play so at speed made it fun trying to change!! I was second quickest in the group the fastest guy ...

... the sun shining here, we've even had some thunder and lightning in the mix. It does lead to some people getting caught out, Mini Gee and myself were in the car earlier and drove through a cloudburst, as we emerged into the sun, we saw a big lardy lad in tracky bottoms and a tee shirt, he couldn't ...

When Georgie was about 3 me and Perkles were having a take away in my house. I asked Georgie to fetch me a bottle of beer from the fridge, which she did. As she got the bottle she walked back into the living room singing "beer, beer, beer, beer" Perkles face was priceless.

I bought a bottle of Mourvèdre red last night to go with my chorizo based dinner, ive had it before and it's pretty good, as we were sitting watching a film with myself enjoying a sip from time to time, Mini Gee asked if he could try it (he's 13). Now I got to try all sorts as a child ...

first 2 weeks were now its easy :-P

... as I was along side it, the Mongrel Mob rider went full throttle between us and gave me the finger. Scared the living daylights out of me! If that were to happen today though you could chase after him and offer him a tankslap (giggle)

... somewhere 100+ miles away and having experienced that, I wouldn't put myself in that situation. Been there......some guy crashed out and his mates were there for the weekend, and seeing as he lived just a few cities over I offered to take him back. "Ohhhh....Can we stop at McDonald's, bro??" ...

... all the way there, all the way back, 160 miles each way, to Cadwell, and yes it rained during the trackday as well. (rain) (gah) It struck me that were I to drop the bike on someone else's oil etc I'd be in the deep & smelly for getting home. Hence I always used a van or trailer after that ...

If it were me i would not bother unless the oil has been contaminated.

A few are doing them now. No Limits ran 9 this year and all were sold out. No track fairings, no tyre warmers, fully road legal bikes only.

It's astonishing that engineers sent to remedy a fault did not do a proper check on what carriages were out on the track already.

... measures to ensure integrity. If a similar system was in place at Alton Towers which I would like to assume it was, then I would GUESS shortcuts were taken by personal and procedures NOT adhered too by staff or controlled by management. Nothing factual just my assumptions.

I don't know what's happened internally. He might still have his job as the company were heavily criticised for a lack of training. Overall the safety culture is good at Alton Towers. I think this is their first prosecution and they've been running for about 30 years. ...

... them when they mention bungs. The press went after him from the outset. Now they've got rid of a manager who may have made a difference. If there were any doubts about him the FA shouldn't have taken him on.

I did Donington with FE a year ago and Transponders were free (just had to buy a bracket). Was very satisfying moving from Novice to Fast group. Even funnier when people come into your garage, giving you tips etc because they saw you have Group 1 on ...

That must have been ages ago Monty. I've done a coupe of FE chrono days in the past which are the ones Andy refers to with the transponder. They were on my Blade so at least 4 years ago and transponders were free and mandatory to set the groups as Andy suggests. To be fair Ive had no trouble with ...

... not allowed to overtake on the sighting laps so by the end of lap 3 me and three other bikes couldn't even see anyone that's how far behind we were. He was a rolling roadblock for some people the entire day.

... but at the turn around point of our bush walk all the colour drained out off him and he wouldn't move. So I had to carry him the 2 km out. There were some nice parts to the day though. IMG_3474.JPG IMG_3481.JPG IMG_3484.JPG IMG_3485.JPG
